Re: Most portable back button in php

I have an idea then. How can I best generate a full URL from PHP_SELF and other variables on the referrer page such that I can generate the back link on the page I get to even if the referrer page is on a different server? as an eample if I know that the page to go back to will be at http://www.myprimary.com/referrer.php and I generate a page at http://www.mysecondary.com/info.php I can ensure that there is the following html in place <a href="http://www.myprimary.com/referrer.php">go back</a> TIA Henry "Stas Maximov" <maximov@eircom.net> wrote in message news:008601c23eef$cc25f260$ec000064@nexus... > Yes, indeed.
