Re: Tracking pages using php

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The "page you came from" is called the "REFERER"  and in PHP you can get it by querying this:

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

HOWEVER, this cannot be 100% reliable; this value is set by the user agent (i.e. browser) some might not set this value and some can actually change it.

An option could be that you pass some sort of "page id" to all the GETs or POSTs that point to your enquiry.php code.

 I have a common form page where a user submits an enquiry 
 ex: enquiry.html
 
 This enquiry.html will call a php file called processing.php in the 
 form action for processing the enquiry and inserting into database. 
 
 There are many ways a user can reach enquiry.html for example from 
 aboutus.html contactus.html etc
 
 My question is how can the processing.php file track which was the 
 previous page a user was browsing before viewing and submitting an 
 enquiry from enquiry.html
 
 This would help me to keep track of the source of enquiry.html
 
 Any help will be greatly appreciated.
