在laravel中获得REFERRER

Question

I'm a newbie in laravel, so maybe please don't beat me :-)

I try to get the referrer inside a controller in this way

$from=Request::server('HTTP_REFERER');

As result, I get this error

Non-static method Illuminate\Http\Request::server() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

At the top from the controller is

namespace Common\Auth\Controllers;

use Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Common\Settings\Settings;
use Common\Core\Controller;
use Common\Core\BootstrapData;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Common\Auth\User;

Hope somebody can show me how I can get the referrer a give me a little lesson about that.

Thanks a lot.

Update.

In the meantime i've add "function name(Request $request)" to my function and inside the function "$this->request = $request;"

Now i can access with "$this->request->ip();" some informations.

If i try to echo that "$this->request->header('HTTP_REFERRER')" nothing will display?

I dont know why laravel request facade not working like above, but you can get header like this

function example(Request $request) {
    dd($request->header('HTTP_REFERRER'));
}

make sure your method accessed from route
