I have tried running the HTTP_REFERER using the one liner below and nothing happens 

<?php
  echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
?>

I cannot see why it should not work on my hosted Linux website, as it works on this site

http://unix.cms.gre.ac.uk/code/php/examples/http_referer.php

    HTTP_REFERER is pretty common, I think you can count on it 9 times out of 10.

  Or even 999 times out of 1000. Opera lets you turn it off, I believe, but all other modern (since 2001?) browsers send it.

  You still need to account for the case where someone has no HTTP_REFERER upon first hitting your site--maybe they typed the address into the browser bar, it happens! ;-)
