problem with stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

[hermes]

consider if your referrer is:

www.google.com/uihiuhiuhwhdjbiuwhibd_HELLO_dfhuihuih.html

Now with this referrer - this syntax works fine:

stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'google')

BUT this does not:

stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'HELLO')

It seems this this syntax can only look at the actual domain of the referrer term. It cannot look at after the /

Am I right on this? It is what I am finding with my experience. Is there any way that I can look at the whole referrer term? Not just the domain component?

Would be so grateful to anyone that can help. Is my Q clear? Just wondering why this thread hasn't taken off. Maybe my Q is not written in an understandable way?

What are you attempting to do with it? Runs fine for me ...

$string = 'www.google.com/uihiuhiuhwhdjbiuwhibd_HELLO_dfhuihuih.html'; 
echo stristr($string, 'google') . "\n"; 
echo stristr($string, 'HELLO') . "\n"; 
// prints: 
google.com/uihiuhiuhwhdjbiuwhibd_HELLO_dfhuihuih.html 
HELLO_dfhuihuih.html
