Hi... my 1st post :p

I have a little problem... i would like to know how to tell PHP to get a URL from the address bar the moment i type it in... i got it working when clicking around the website... but if i just load the browser and type in the URL straight away it don't show me nothing


<?php

$url = getenv('HTTP_REFERER');

echo $url;
exit;
?>

thats wha i got ( it's a little thing am messing around with ) if i type "http://localhost/url_ref.php" it prints out nothing but if i click on the file thru ma website i get "http://localhost/" when i want to see "http://localhost/url_ref.php"

wha i want is... if i type "http://localhost/url_ref.php" i want it to show me "http://localhost/url_ref.php" if i click on the file from "http://localhost/" and the file is "url_ref.php" i want it to show me "http://localhost/url_ref.php"

anyone know how?

Thx's 🙂

    FYI, HTTP_REFERER is the LAST page you visited, not the page you're at now. So its teh page you'll see if you hit the ' Back ' button on your browser.
