What is causing the $host, $realhost and $referer variables to be
blank?
<?php
global $host;
$date = date("F jS Y, h:iA");
$host=@gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] != "")
{$realhost =
@gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]);}
$referer = $_SERVER['$HTTP_REFERER'];
mail("my.address@whatever", "visitor information", "$host at $date
from
$referer.
Forwarded for $realhost");
?>

You should not suppress error messages when you are trying to find an error.
/Str.

If it is happening across all browsers its more likely that the web
server is failing to invoke PHP with the correct arguments set so that
COULD be a server configuration problem.
I don't know how the linkage is achieved though, so that's the limit of
my Thought.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS has been deprecated since ages.

Shouldn't that be $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']?
If gethostbyaddr() was coded with the same rigor, it's highly plausible
that the other variables are "empty", too. Which they aren't. Turn on
your error reporting and fix your bugs.
