[SOLVED] Tell a friend script help

[rachae1]

Hi I am trying to put together a script for a tell a friend I have used two different scripts to make what I have now and I am now stuck and was wondering if anyone can help.

 

I would like to use this code in a popup window so that when a user clicks the button tell a friend it then loads up and when they press submit it emails the friend the page link.

 

All is working ok apart from it echos the url that the form is in and not the previous page. Does anyone know how I can get it to do this.

 

Thanks in advance

 

<?php 
session_start();
if ($fromEmail)
{
$ref=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ($fromName=='')
$subject= "Your friend has referred you this link from www.glitzybingo.co.uk";


else
$subject= "$fromName has referred you this link from www.glitzybingo.co.uk";
$message = " 
Dear $toName,
Your friend $fromName has referred this link to you. 
Please visit this link by clicking $ref
";
$from = "From: $fromEmail\r\n";
mail($toEmail, $subject, $message, $from);


header ("location:".$ref);
}


if( isset($_POST['submit'])) {

header('Location: thepage.php');

   if( $_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code'] && !empty($_SESSION['security_code'] ) ) {

   echo 'thanks';

	unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
   } else {
	// Insert your code for showing an error message here
	echo 'Sorry, you have provided an invalid security code';
   }
} else {
?>

Just updated my code as I realised I had two submit buttons that seemed to do the same thing removed one of them.

 

<?php 
session_start();
if ($fromEmail)
{
$ref=@$HTTP_REFERER;
if ($fromName=='')
$subject= "Your friend has referred you this link from www.glitzybingo.co.uk";


else
$subject= "$fromName has referred you this link from www.glitzybingo.co.uk";
$message = " 
Dear $toName,
Your friend $fromName has referred this link to you. 
Please visit this link by clicking $ref
";
$from = "From: $fromEmail\r\n";
mail($toEmail, $subject, $message, $from);


header ("location:".$ref);
}


if( isset($_POST['submit'])) {

header('Location: thepage.php');

   if( $_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code'] && !empty($_SESSION['security_code'] ) ) {

   echo 'thanks';

	unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
   } else {
	// Insert your code for showing an error message here
	echo 'Sorry, you have provided an invalid security code';
   }
} else {
?>



<form method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.glitzybingo.co.uk">

<td align="center" valign="middle"><table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Ok kind of solved it.

 

The form was originally submitting the current url instead of the reffering url so I have created a new field

 

<input name="refurl" type="text" id="refurl" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>"></td>

 

 

So incase anyone wants to play with the tellafriend script with themselves heres the below code:

 

 

 

<?php 
if ($fromEmail)
{

$ref=@$HTTP_REFERER; 

if ($fromName=='')
$subject= "Your friend has referred you this link from www.sitename.com";
else
$subject= "$fromName has referred you this link from www.sitename.com";

$message = " 
Dear $toName,
Your friend $fromName has referred this link to you. 
Please visit this link by clicking $refurl";


$from = "From: $fromEmail\r\n";
mail($toEmail, $subject, $message, $from);

header ("location:".$ref);

}


if( isset($_POST['submit'])) {

header('Location: thepage.php');

   if( $_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code'] && !empty($_SESSION['security_code'] ) ) {

   echo 'thanks';

	unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
   } else {
	// Insert your code for showing an error message here
	echo 'Sorry, you have provided an invalid security code';
   }
} else {
?>



<form method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect">
<input type="hidden" name="fromemail" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>" />


<td align="center" valign="middle"><table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<td height="30" colspan="2"><strong>Your Details</strong></td>

<td height="30">Name:

<td height="30">E-Mail:

</tr>
<tr>

</tr>

<input name="refurl" type="text" id="refurl" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>"></td>

</table></td>

	<label for="security_code">Security Code: </label><input id="security_code" name="security_code" type="text" /><br />
