saving link where php insert is located?

trying to save a link to where a php insert is located...

[Tacklephile]

I have a review script on my website. The user clicks on a link that says, "post a review" located on a php page where the script is inserted. This takes them to a form to fill out, then a confirmation form, then it is saved to the database.

My question is, is there any way to save the link to the original php page where the review script is inserted? I tried _SERVER["PHP_SELF"] but it saved the link to the confirmation form. Is there any way to save the link to the referring page a couple of pages back?

Thanks for your input in advance!

$referring_page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

Will give you the referring page, if you want to go further back than that you will have to pass the referer you're intereted in to each page in turn.

Thanks for your help! How do I "pass the referer"?

[badone]

When you have the $referal_page variable set you can link to the next page like this;

next_page.php?referal_page=$referal_page

then in next page do something like;

$referal_page = $_GET['referal_page'];

Repeat as necessary.

Cheers,
Brad
