Re: HTTP_REFERER with Javascript Window

Jason, I know they can add data to the URL. But then I'm relying upon the site identifying themself correctly and honestly. I'm trying to find a way to be sure what site has sent the user to us. I need to identify to referrer and handle the user accordingly. The Javascript "parent.location" sounds like it would identify the site but I don't see a way to get that information into PHP before we create the page for the referred user. Any ideas?
