$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] Gives completely wrong url

[curtay]

Hi when I display a page with a broken photo, the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] becomes that photo url for some reason.

So if I'm on mysite.com/article.html

function page_echo($html)
{

//somewhere in $html is <img src='mysite.com/photothatdoesntexist.jpg' />

echo $html

//This is the only place that I ever call REQUEST_URI or ever set last_url.
$_SESSION['last_url'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}


And somehow on the next pageload $_SESSION['last_url'] becomes "/photothatdoesntexist.jpg" instead of "/article.html"

Anyone know how that is possible?

Sounds like a flaky web server issue, though I may be missing some important detail. Is this by any chance some sort of AJAX implementation, or just a straight-ahead PHP page being called directly by the browser? (I'm not sure why that would matter, mind you.)

I've got a site with the same issue.

Did you ever find out what the deal was?
