UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting retriving the url

Hi All,

I am writing a "send this url to your friends script" and need to get the url that user came from and place this in a form element.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Place this variable where you want the URL to show or send:

$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}

Could I use somthing like:to make spaces pluses?

Okay I know how to retreive the URL, how do I place it into the subject of the email.

Please see the code below, very simple I know but I don't need anything more complicated than this.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;

$co = new CGI;

print $co->header,

$co->start_html
(
-title=>'mail a friend',
-author=>'Mark',
-BGCOLOR=>'white',
-LINK=>'red'
);

if ($co->param()) {

$from = $co->param('e-mail');

$from =~ s/@/@/;

# $subject = $co->param('subject');

$text = "$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}";

$text =~ s/
open(MAIL, '| /usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi');

print MAIL <To: [email protected]
From: $from
Subject: you have got to see this
$text
EOF

close (MAIL);
}

Thanks

Mark

Have you tried the script yet and it hasn't worked? Seems like you get the referer and you put it in there correctly

I thought it was -t -oeq
