RE: Maintaining CGI.HTTP_REFERER

2005-10-18 Thread Justin D. Scott
 I need to maintain the url of the referer if the
 current page is reloaded seral times. Whats the
 best method of acheiving this?

You could toss the value into a session variable, a cookie, a database, a
structure in an application variable...  There are a lot of options for
keeping a value around after the first request.  I do this on several sites
and then send the original referrer along with contact forms, signup forms,
etc. to track where people are coming from.
