Hi all

How can I achieve that

For example I have 100 pages in each page I have a link "Contact Us"
which it take you to contact.htm and there I have a form that use php
to send the data to my email "form to mail".
That all work fine but I want to know from which one of this 100 pages
the visitors have click the "contact us" link and this url to be email
to me whit the other data in the form.

Hope you guys understand me what I mean.

put a variable in every "contact us" link with the page url $PHP_SELF, catch
it in the form as an hidden field to send to your email.

The page containing the link to contacus.php:

<a href=contactus.php?my_ref=<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>>Contact us</a>

must also be a php file to able to echo $PHP_SELF.

Ops
the form is in the heather.html and the main code is encrypted so I

is there some other way that I can achieve that or should I just live
with it
