we use javascript to call our old tellafriend scrpt, but have too many links to change them all.
Our Javascript looks like this
Link Script:
<a href="javascript:;" onClick="m3_openBrWindow('http://x.domain.com/siterefer/sr_form.php?referring_url=' + window.location.href,'','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=530,height=520')" class="blut1">Friend</a>
Popup javascript:
function m3_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
How can we make this script pick up the referrer URL?
Will register and/or pay if we can make this work!

Not sure I can be much help with javascript, sorry. I`m patchy with js, so not sure how you get the referer.

Here is an example of the landing page from the javascript
http://x.DOMAIN.com/siterefer/sr_form.php?referring_url=http://www.OTHERDOMAIN.com/FILE.htmmaybe it is then easier to look at the output of the JS so that the PHP can be conformed to it?
the part of the landing URL
?referring_url=http://www.OTHERDOMAIN.com/FILE.htmindicates the referring page
I suppose under the current scenario we might simply pass this variable on to the REFERER variable in your script , if we only knew how.

<a href="javascript:;" onClick="m3_openBrWindow('http://x.domain.com/siterefer /sr_form.php?referring_url='<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width= 530,height=520')" class="blut1">Friend</a>
Wouldn`t that work?

we have the Javascipt that produces the output as identified in my previous post. How can we pass the variable after the "?" to the REFERER variable in the PHP. It is difficult to change the links in over 30.000 pages that link to it!
If that URL variable can be translated to the REFERER variable,. we have it made.

RESOLVED:
Here is the fix to pass the referring_url variable to the tell a friend script
original code:
<div id="comments">
<label><?php echo $this->COMMENTS; ?>:</label>
<textarea rows="4" cols="20" name="comments"><?php echo $this->COMMENTS_VALUE;
</div>New code
<div id="comments">
<label><?php echo $this->COMMENTS; ?>:</label>
<textarea rows="4" cols="20" name="comments"><?php echo $this->COMMENTS_VALUE;
// 2 lines below are what echo the URL variable to the script
$val = $_GET['referring_url'];
echo "the link is: $val";?></textarea>
</div>Offline
Glad you got it sorted.
