Strip and Embed a URL into a Page

[bradleynsmith]

Hi Freaks

 

(I've always wanted to say that !)

 

 

I have a  Clickbank URL which I want to use to embed two pieces of information onto a page.

 

eg.

http://YOURCLICKBANKID.myclickbank.hop.clickbank.net?id=7630172892917082

 

I want to do two things:

1. Pick up the site from which this was referred (the referral URL) and use this elsewhere, in a 404 Error Page

2. Pick out the last set of digits from the ?id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and embed that elsewhere in the page.

 

I know this is fairly simple in PHP - but I'm a complete Newbie

 

Can someone please point me in the right direction ?

 

Thanks --

 

 

Brad

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] for the referring page
