Using $HTTP_REFERER

[Anon]

hi,
I want to create a log file to know how the people got to my site
On my index.html file i call my php script this way :
<SCRIPT SRC= "http://www.mysite.com/writelog.php">
//--></SCRIPT>
and writelog.php creates a txt file with
$HTTP_REFERER and $REMOTE_HOST
$REMOTE_HOST is ok in the file but HTTP_REFERER now contains "index.html"
and not the URL index.html was accessed from..
Can someone help to do it another way
(pass a var or something..)
Thank you very much

You're right, you have to transmit the info to your PHP script. You can do this thanks to the javascript "referrer" (2 r's) property :

<SCRIPT>
var url="http://www.mysite.com/writelog.php";
document.write("<SCRIPT SRC='" + url + "?REF="+escape(document.referrer) + "'>");
document.write("//--></" + "SCRIPT>");
</SCRIPT>

(the last string is split to avoid a javascript parse error).
