how can i get the URL of referring page?

[miahmiah]

i need to get the url of the page that referred the web browser to the current page. (the page the user clicked from to get here)

i used to know how to do this in vbscript / asp - however, i have looked and looked in the php reference and cannot figure out / remember how to do this.

can anyone help? thanks!

you can get this info from $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]

you can get all php's vars and info with a call to phpinfo() what we see depends mainly on what we're looking for.
