How to get HTTP_REFERER /w Frames

[Anon]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get the HTTP_REFERER variable of the parent window using frames?

I'm trying to get the referrer within a frame, but all $HTTP_REFERER returns is the URL for my main frameset page.

Thanks,
Clif

That sounds right. I've never actually tried that but it does make sense. What if you were to put the HTTP_REFERER as a new variable in the session? Or maybe append the value as a new variable to the url being called into the frame when you build the frameset like so:
<frame src="<?echo "http://mycomp/somefile.php?htrf=$HTTP_REFERER"?>">

(I'm a little rusty with frames...but I think that's right.)

Hope this helps.
