Adding referer to email script	Can't Post

I just broke down and bought a script that will accept email attachments in a form. I also need to get the referal page in the body of the email so that I know where it is coming from.

The script is attached, I am thinking that it should just be a matter of adding something like:

$referal_page=$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};

Am I off base here? Can't get it to work.

Thanks!

Derek

$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} might contain the data. So you can use it if present.

Enviroment variables might not be filled or used by some webservers. Also, if this value contains something, it is what the browser wants you to believe the referer is. There is no guarantee.
