[wellylug] cgi script/html question

[Mark Signal]

That was the missing piece of the puzzle.

It all works perfectly

$HTTP_REFERER was what I was after.

thanks for your help

cheers

Can you just look at $HTTP_REFERER ?

If you make a CGI script:

------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<pre>"
env
------------------------------------------

and then make an HTML page that links to it, you'll be able to see what
variables your web server is setting.
