See which website a user came from with PHP

Ever clicked a link and seen a spooky popup or mention of the website you just came from on the new page? This is done through HTTP_REFERER.

 $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]

You can read more about $_SERVER here.

Also note the incorrect spelling of referrer which never got corrected because of how much it would break websites.
