mbabli Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hello everyone, If I redirect HTML page using the <META EQUIV-HTTP="Refresh"...etc> What are my options of retreiving the source URL before the redirection. Any help would be appreciated. PS: $_SERVER['REFERRER'; Is an empty string after redirecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachelbel101 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Before the redirection you can use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] OR $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the source URL.Then you can carry it over to the next script by attaching it to the redirect url as a GET ("?src=$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]") or store it in $_SESSION.

ober Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I think you want $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbabli Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks for the fast reply (Both): For solution 1: Unfortunately, the source page is HTML (Static), however, what I need is the source url (the info I need is in it). and altering Apache to hanle html as php is not the most feasible at the moment. For Solution 2: HTTP_REFERRER is an empty string if redirected because the referrer would be the browser itself. Any more suggestions?

theblain Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 You can't use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] BEFORE you redirect, and then pass the variable to the redirected page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
