PHP and JavaScript Referrers

[bubba1356]

Hey guys,

 

I'm building a web stats package in php. I've managed to use javascript to call a php file which sniffs out the browser data and stores it in a MySQL table. The calling script is as follows:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="addview.php"></script>

 

This is all good, the php file called by this script takes the calling page URL using the referrer header:

 

$Page = getenv('HTTP_REFERER'); 

 

Only problem is this: since the referral header changes once the php page loads, I cant find the referral to the page I need (i.e. the referral header BEFORE the php page loads). I was gonna get round this by storing the referrer using javascript in a variable and pass this to the php file???

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Cheers,
