Tracking Referer
Hi-

Does anyone know if it's possible to record the refering URL of the user who enters my web site and then if the user submits a form to me from my site, the email that is sent from the form would also include the original refering URL that brought the user to my site? So the email sent to me through the form would look something like:

---------------------------------

Email from: John Smith

Message: Message contents would be here.

Referred to Site from: http://www.yahoo.com

---------------------------------

Is this possible with PERL or PHP and MySQL? I use Links SQL, but I don't know much about sessions and how they work.

Basically, I would like to keep track of those visitors who come to my site and then actually contact me through an email form, so that I know which referring sites are producing results for me.

If anyone can let me know if this is even possible, and point me in the right direction that would be great...

-Frank
