include referer in form

[mattc]

Hi all

I built a php form the other day that loads in a greybox and can be triggered from any product page by any customer.

It asks them some questions and emails the form to us.

I want to include a hidden part in the form that shows the refering product url.

I've tried adding a hidden input field and using javascript and php referers in it, but neither work because i get text output.

I know this is going to be one of those things which is really simple and my understanding is letting me down! If someone can show me the correct way it will hopefully all fall into place though.

Thanks in advance, Matt

If your form is in a separate file, then in whatever fires off your Greybox add

prodid='<actinic variable name="ProductID" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />';

And in your form

<script>document.write('<input type="hidden" name="productid" value="' + prodid + '"/>');</script>

Hi Norman, thanks for your perls of wisdom.

My Link

<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background: #eee; border: 1px solid #660000; width: 90%;"><a href="http://url.html" prodid='<actinic variable name="ProductID" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />'; rel="gb_page_center[520, 560]">Link Text Here</a></div>

and in my form

<script>document.write('<input type="hidden" id="productid" name="productid" value="' + prodid + '"/>');</script>

Finally in the processing php file

Page they reported this from: " . $_POST['productid'] . "

It all looks ok to me - but for some reason, nothing gets posted into the email for this.
