Show referral site address

[Anon]

Hello,
I'm trying to put together a referral page, however, in my form I want to display 'Referral Site Address' and that being the page they came from to access the referral option. And I really don't want to use HTTP_REFERER. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You got a problem with HTTP_REFERER? 🙂

Really though, it's the only HTTP method to grab your referer info, which is why it's set up that way in the HTTP spec.

Perhaps if you more clearly explained why you don't want to use the tool for the job, someone could fill you in on how to use HTTP_REFERER to make it work the way you want.

There is only one way to get the referer information, and that is through the HTTP_REFERER.

You don't have an option in this, it's HTTP_REFERER or nothing.

No, no prob with HTTP_REFERER...besides the fact it's spelled wrong. But that's okay. 🙂 I just wanted to know if there was a different way to do it. I like doing things differently. 🙂 If there's not then, HTTP_REFERER it is. Thank you all for your help.
