I want to add a field to the form to show where they came from

[ozdecor]

hello
I've searched here butto no avail.
I want to add a field to the form to show  where they came from. We have visitors from different locations like referrers websites or adwords, and we wantto have a hidden field on the form to chw us where the person came from before they filled the form out. IS this possible?

Thanks
ian

Yes, the referrer's url is available to PHP in $HTTP_REFERER, so get it into a variable like this:

Code: Select all

$referer=@$HTTP_REFERER; 

and then in your form use $referer as the value of your hidden field.

i added
$referer=@$HTTP_REFERER;
as the value for the hidden field, and it still does not pass the referrer info on. What am i missing?

Make sure "Process smarty tags within field?:" is ticked for hidden field.
Value should be

{$smarty.server.HTTP_REFERER}
