    <p>I have some Facebook ads and external ads pointing to an app which is sitting on a page tab.</p> <p>When my app stores some user information, I'd like to also record which ad referred them to the app via some identifier.</p> <p>I understand <code>$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']</code> is unreliable in most cases, and any parameters passed as a query string (<code>http://www.facebook.com/pages/Test-Page/21814976xxxxxxx?sk=app_25966185xxxxxxx&amp;referrer=advert_1</code>) do not persist.</p> <p>Is there a way I can accurately determine how a user got to my iframed Facebook app?</p> <p>Dump of all HTTP request headers on the app:</p> <pre><code>[Host] =&gt; xxxxx.com.dev [Connection] =&gt; keep-alive [Content-Length] =&gt; 522 [Cache-Control] =&gt; max-age=0 [Origin] =&gt; http://static.ak.facebook.com [User-Agent] =&gt; Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1017.2 Safari/535.19 [Content-Type] =&gt; application/x-www-form-urlencoded [Accept] =&gt; text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 [Referer] =&gt; http://static.ak.facebook.com/platform/page_proxy.php?v=4 [Accept-Encoding] =&gt; gzip,deflate,sdch [Accept-Language] =&gt; en-US,en;q=0.8 [Accept-Charset] =&gt; ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 [Cookie] =&gt; PHPSESSID=333dea05c7913f549c98599a797d4f71; __utma=75786053.945637676.1327581224.1327924758.1327928159.8; __utmb=75786053.2.10.1327928159; __utmc=75786053; __utmz=75786053.1327928159.8.8.utmcsr=static.ak.facebook.com|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/platform/page_proxy.php; fbsr_259661857422740=N5qiJMZV3Rx_oOpluV9fNfy76R98ux45MF9dqe8SFu4.eyJhbGdvcml0aG0iOiJITUFDLVNIQTI1NiIsImNvZGUiOiIyLkFRQUU1eWRtcU1wWUlhMkYuMzYwMC4xMzI3OTMyMDAwLjUtMTgxOTA5OTAyMXxZZzNWY3ctdE52YVB1cjJQM3g2OFJBSVlnZEUiLCJpc3N1ZWRfYXQiOjEzMjc5MjgxNzYsInVzZXJfaWQiOiIxODE5MDk5MDIxIn0; ci_session=a%3A6%3A%7Bs%3A10%3A%22session_id%22%3Bs%3A32%3A%22ac29210xxxxxx8d1896cecdacc669%22%3Bs%3A10%3A%22ip_address%22%3Bs%3A9%3A%22127.0.0.1%22%3Bs%3A10%3A%22user_agent%22%3Bs%3A118%3A%22Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Macintosh%3B+Intel+Mac+OS+X+10_6_8%29+AppleWebKit%2F535.19+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%29+Chrome%2F18.0.1017.2+Safari%2F535.19%22%3Bs%3A13%3A%22last_activity%22%3Bi%3A1327928158%3Bs%3A9%3A%22user_data%22%3Bs%3A0%3A%22%22%3Bs%3A14%3A%22signed_request%22%3Bs%3A507%3A%22RBHppEnvz_GZwbPA74cZDbFyp3rYr8Tma8yorW3aoUA.eyJ[SNIPPED]%22%3B%7D72d0866c56330f1a75d00d53e44c6aa4 </code></pre>

    1. CORemoved by Facebook? Probably removed by the browser, because Facebook is not sending the HTTP referee but the browser is. Can you dump all request headers that are send to your server? Probably there is something available that you can make use of. It also would be good to add some value to your question.

    2. COAlso take note that the correct spelling is `'HTTP_REFERER'` and not (as you wrote) `'HTTP_REFFERER'`. See http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
