Php Form Url Display

martyn187 · 06-02-2004, 05:23 AM

Hi all,

Could somebody kindly enlighten me of the code that goes into a php file for a form so it displays the URL from which the form was submitted?

Thanks in advance

You can get the URL of the referring page with :

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

Just a note tho martyn187 $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] can be forged and also if someone is running a firewall it could be blocked so will show blank (as well as when it goes via a proxy) so best not to rely on this and use it for information purposes only.
