Hi Chris ,
I genuinely believe that I have a misunderstanding of what the HTTP_REFERER
is all about. I was trying to grab the address just before the user entered
"my" application.
In my INDEX.PHP, I used an extra script named LOGIN.PHP, where the

Hi Paul:
You misunderstand what http referer does. In addition, be careful of
what some other folks have posted in this thread, they're

Granted, there are all kinds of reasons not to provide back links.
