Hi Sudhakar,
Presumably you have control over everything. All you need to do is tell
yourself where you are coming from.
Add a parameter to the request as follows:
In aboutus.html change the link to:
<a href='./enquiry.php?fromPage=aboutus' ... >Enquiry</a>
And in contactus.html cvhange it to:
<a href='./enquiry.php?fromPage=contactus' ... >Enquiry</a>
I have changed enquiry.html to a php file so that it can receive the
parameter. In enquiry.php you add the following line to the form you
are using there:
<input type='hidden' name='fromPage' value='<?php print
$_REQUEST['fromPage']; ?>' />
Now when the request from enquiry.php is posted you will have the name
of the previous page in the form and in processing.php you have access
to the name of the originating page in $_REQUEST['fromPage'].

Subject: Tracking pages using php
Hi
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.
