I'm new to PHP with experience in Perl. I've read about an ENV variable that returns the user's email address. It's $HTTP_FROM. I can't find any info about it eccept in a little sentence that doesn't say to much about it. Exactly what does it return and where does it get the info (i.e. off the dial up account from the server or the email account used in the email prog on their PC or ????)
Any info on how, what, when, where, why this $HTTP_FROM thingy works would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dan
What exactly is $HTTP_FROM?
The definition I've read is "HTTP_FROM -
If present, this might be the email address of the user who requested the URL. This feature is not supported by most browsers and is not guaranteed to be accurate if it is present."
I don't think most modern browsers send this (security/privacy reasons).
