Needed: 'Email a friend' php code with . . .

[cjcjcj]

I need a php code like the one here:

http://www.ibdjohn.com/sendurl/

BUT I need it to automatically read the name of the page it is on so I can paste it on 40+ pages without having to manually alter the code to point the email to the URL.

Is this possible?

You could get the url of the current page with some PHP code like :

 <? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

And for the title of page you could try something like :

<script>
document.write(document.title);
</script>

I didn't test but it should work... Replace the value in the form with the code and test...

Hope that helps,
David.

So I just take the first lot of code

<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

and put it in the place where the 'URL' would go?

<!-- Change 'value' to site URL you want to be sent to the friend -->
<input type=hidden name="urlis" value="http://www.yourdomainname/yourpagename">

I don't know a lot about php so how does this work?
<input type=hidden name="urlis" value=<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

Or where else does this code go ????????

cjcjcj,

Like this:

<input type=hidden name="urlis" value="http://www.yourdomainname/yourpagename">

Replace the bold so it could be:

<input type=hidden name="urlis" value="<?
$page_url = 'http://www.yourdomainname.com'; // your domain name here
$page_url .= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
echo $page_url;
?>">

just edit the domain name..

 

[cjcjcj]

A little confused. I wanted to get a code where I wouldn't need to enter the domain name on each page where I put the code. Instead, the code would read it from somewhere and adapt the email that is sent out to the 'friend'.

What does the above code do?

Ok well, I found this premade code for you, I think it does what you look for.

<input type=hidden name="urlis" value="
<?
$_SERVER['FULL_URL'] = 'http';
if($_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on'){$_SERVER['FULL_URL'] .= 's';}
$_SERVER['FULL_URL'] .= '://';
if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']!='80') $_SERVER['FULL_URL'] .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].':'.$_SERVER
['SERVER_PORT'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
else
$_SERVER['FULL_URL'] .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']>' '){$_SERVER['FULL_URL'] .= '?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];}
echo $_SERVER['FULL_URL'];
?>
">

It should output the full url in the value. Copy the code where you want to use it, and you do not need to edit anything.

Looks great - I'll let you know - thanks!

If I understand this correctly, you'd need to use 'mailto:[email protected]' links. But... I'm not too sure if I understand it
