Thanx for your answer. This is exactly the problem. I do not want to pass
something like this.
The user gets a URL like: server.com/user-name
He passses it around and someone follows this link to my site. In case this
person registeres I am tracking this. But the same links are inside my own
site. The URL should stay the same since it is a nice one with the username
and without any ?=... stuff.
I could reduce my question to the following:
How can I find out (in PHP) that someone is comming from a different site.
Some variable like $_HTTP[referrer] might track this. I hope there is
something like this :-)
So I could do something like this:
if ($_HTTP[referrer] != myserver.com){
//set a cookie
}
You get the idea?
