Recommended Posts

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?  For some reason, the variable doess not seem to be getting passed to the "action" php script

 

this input is in my html form (action=post)...

 

 

 

<input type="hidden" name="httpreferer" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ?>" />

 

 

 

 

this is in the action script...

 

$httpreferer=$_POST['httpreferer'];

echo $httpreferer;

Try this, it works for me.

 

<html>
<body>

<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="httpreferer" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
<?php
$httpreferer=$_POST['httpreferer'];
echo $httpreferer;
?>
</html>
