Hello,

Is it possible to show the refferer page URL info on my redirected page.

For example, if the refferer page is http://facebook.com/big_boom
I want that my redirected page show somewhere "big boom".

Thanks

Yep! It can be done with a lot of programming languages. For example in php,

<?php
$refferal = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
echo $refferal;
?>

Then you can use a regular expression to grab just the end of the url.

Thanks but how do I do that? I just want the end of the page, not the full URL

I have heard about using this:
sed -e 's/http://.*.com///'
But how can I use this command in a HTML page?
