HTTP Referrer Question

[marteena]

Dear all,

On our web site, we do "Sites of the week" which I collect, gather, and then input into a database. A lot of times, I find these sites while in the middle of something, and I hate that I have to stop what I'm doing to add the site to the database (lazy, I know...)

What I would like to do is somehow code some PHP, so that, if I come across a web site I like, I can click on my own PHP file, that will capture the URL I am on, and then add it to the database and I can worry about details later, and then return me to the page I was on.

I tried using the $HTTP_REFERER for this, but it seems I can only use this to capture URLS that are linked to the previous URL. Is it really that I can only capture the URL http://www.phpbuilder.com if somehow that page links to and I click on my php page?

Thanks for any help.

I can name that tune in 8 clicks...

Probably not as tidy as what you're looking for, but you could make a script with a form into which you'd paste the url. Click "submit" and the script would enter it into your database.
