URL Catcher

Hi guys, i have forgotton, can't remember and can't find it.

What is the php code for web catcher.

For example, i want someone to complete a form, on completion, the form gets sent to a friend, with the url from where the form was sent from.

 

Maybe you are looking for $PHP_SELF.

is that the one in the form, <input type='hidden' name='url>$PHP_SELF

 

Found it, for reference, it is

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

PHP:

Another Question, the emails are sent by the server, so the emails are from nobody. How do i change that to my email address

 

Take a look at the mail() function. You can pass all the headers you want.

 

For sending emails I would suggest you don't use the built in functions but rather use phpMailer which is much more powerful.

Sorted now, thanks.

The reason why i wanted a form, is because i was building a "tell a friend" sort of page. so when the form is sent, an email is sent with the page link.

I am learning php, and i like to try and do stuff using codes, not plugins
