HTTP_REFERER Code With PopUp Window

[_PQ3_RogeR]

I'm trying to have it so when a new window in opened with the code below the refering page is sent along with it. I've searched around, and this is the code i've come up with to do what I want, but it doesn't work:

$web= "www.site.com/test.php"; 
$web= $web."?HTTP_REFERER=".$HTTP_REFERER; //pass HTTP_REFERER in the URL 

echo "<a href=\"http://$web\" onclick=\"Download(this.href,'name','330','170','no');return false\">Download</a>";

Any ideas?

Thanks,
RogeR

You want to do something like this:

$web = "http://www.someurl.com?ref=" . urlencode($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

Then you can echo it out to an anchor tag.

Doesn't seem to be working.

In order for it to work you have to be coming from another page. To test, create a plain html page with a link to the page containing the code. Up them to your web server or start your web server locally (use AMP if you don't have one) and then browse to and click on the link.

nuklehed, ofcourse i'm linking from another page. Here is the java code which opens the java window.

<script language=\"javascript\">
var win = null;
function Download(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}
</script>

and the html code:

<a href=\"http://www.site.com/test.php\" onclick=\"Download(this.href,'name','330','170','no');return false\">test</a>

using the code you posted before just opening up a new window (target=_blank) it works fine, but when using this java code it doesn't work.

Why don't you just append the current URL in the javascript function? Using 'mypage' you could do this:

newurl = mypage + '?referral_url=' + escape(parent.location);

Since your popup is a PHP page you should have no problem passing the value to it.
