Re: Obtaining requesting form's URL?

You should be able to use the environmnet variable HTTP_REFERER.

eg.

if($ENV{HTTP_REFERER} eq 'http://abc/searchForm2.cgi'){
  # Do whatever
}

As often posted, referers aren't too reliable (I for one turned "Send Referrer" off in my browser). Another solution (not too reliable neither) could be to add a hidden field in the form with the URL, or script name. Or analyze your webbrowser's access log (may be overkill, but probably works best). -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]
