i
have a script on one of my sites that is accessible to 2 other sites and only those 2 sites.
i have a relatively simple script to block access to other users whereby the ip address MUST match that of the websites who have permission to access. i know it's not perfect (i.e. any other sites on the same shared server could, if they wanted to, access the script*) but it will suffice.
i also have it set up that any attempts that don't match my criteria sends me an email with the date, time and the ip of the source of the request. however the ip address isn't actually that useful in determining who, or which site, was attempting to access the script. the normal method of $_SERVER[SERVER_NAME] (or SERVER_ADDR) just gives me my domain etc as this is where the script is running.
REMOTE_ADDR gives me the ip address of the breach but isn't that useful.
HTTP_REFERER is blank so of no use.
so, does anyone have any other ideas as to how i can get this information?!

* before those who remember the recent sheffield server shenanigans, don't worry - the script simply outputs an xml feed and won't change all your index*.* files!
Get domain of the site that sent an http request
