HTTP_REFERER and passed variable pages

[jyoung123]

I'm using a simple "Recommend this page" script that prints the recommended page with the following code:

$referer = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");  
print "<B>$referer</B><BR><BR>";

This works fine for regular PHP pages such as
http://www.example.com/info.php

But if it is a page which has some variable passed to it such as
http://www.example.com/info.php?id=4

it will only reference "http://www.example.com/info.php" as the page to be recommended.

Thus, how do I enable $referer to also include the passed variables?

referer depends on what is sent by the browser
if you dont see it now, you probably wont be able to see it at all.

What if you use the "QUERY_STRING" aswell?

$referer = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");  
$querystring = getenv("QUERY_STRING");  
print "<B>$referer?$querystring</B><BR><BR>";
