Using PHP is it possible to detect a visiting URL? I would like to add some code to my index.php script that could tell me where my visitiors are coming from (which URLs). Can this information be captured somehow with PHP?

Thanks...

Yup, it's in the $_SESSION['HTTP_REFERER'] variable.

I get a blank when I use this code snippet on my home page:

$ref = $_SESSION['HTTP_REFERER'];
print $ref;

not $_SESSION['HTTP_REFERER'], but rather:

<?php
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
?>

That will do the trick.
