if it's a query string you can get that information by setting session variables that interpret it.

e.g.

if (isset($source) && $source == ('Google' || 'something in particular')) {
$_SESSION['source'] = $source;
}

You'd not want to be allowing people to set any source from a query string. Hopefully someone else can help with the security of this sort of thing.

i think busy is right, and want to warn you, some people have firewalls that remove that, and in all cases it's optional for the browser to send it. i belive mozilla firebird you can disable it as well as some others.

I think it's $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]

I guess a better what to put it is:

When i user comes to my site from a specific URL, say training.html?Source=google and they end up registering I would like to know that they came from source=google

How can I get that information if they directly do not register first?
