$_SERVER['http_referer'] returns blank in Internet Explorer

: Joel Lipman; Microsoft; 19 October 2009; Hits: 10252

Thought I'd put a note about this as I spent ages rewriting an entire system. The HTTP_REFERER environment variable can be changed by the user anyway but I was using it as an additional validation check.

The only solution is to not use it for verification purposes as it will only work in every other browser except Internet Explorer (more specifically versions 6 and 7...???)

This is in the case that you have only one optical drive which is a minimum of a CD Writer and you want to make a copy of a CD.

Insert original CD in the drive
In the CD Drive dialog box, click CANCEL
On the desktop, double-click on MY COMPUTER
Right-click on the CD drive and select OPEN
Go to EDIT > SELECT ALL > EDIT > COPY
PASTE to a temporary folder
Select all the files, right-click on them and select SEND TO > DIRECTCD
