This is because HTTP_REFERER is not set you can try

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']))
    echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
else
    echo 'HTTP_REFERER in not set';

Try this,

echo isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
                                     : "Referer not set";

It looks like your server error reporting level is too sensitive (E_ALL) and there actually is no referrer.
