Grab the URL of the address bar using PHP

[quarryknight]

Hello, I am trying to use PHP to grab the URL of the Address Bar (in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox). Basically, I want to use this functionality to trace the redirection path of a website, where using file_get_contents() will not grab the URL, since the redirection is through a scripting language.

I need to be able to grab the URL from the address bar before the page loads. Thank you very much for your time.

Your PHP script works on the server side, sends a page to the client side then die.
Now a browser shows a page (and its address bar) but where is your PHP script? Well, on the other side (and dead.
Can this deceased on the other side of Internet grab anything (w/o client-side scripting)?..

I'm not sure you know what you want here.

do you a:
want to find out where your users come from?

or b:
want to know where your users are, before they leave your page?

if a:
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

if b:
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']
