joomla - sessions - referring urls - is it possible? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi guys,

hopefully should straight forward need know joomla , session use following scenario:



basically record referring url site when user goes specific page user given separate set of options other users.
so if user1 comes mysite.com, referringsite.com use like

code: select all

< ?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_session[’referrer’])){
//get referrer
if ($_server[’http_referer’]){
$referrer = $_server[’http_referer’];
}else{
$referrer = “unknown”;
}
//save in session
$_session[’referrer’] = $referrer; // store session data
}
?>

... record referrer. when user1 goes form , submits (created code via jumi) can use switch or show separate options.


therefore question in - joomla use session $reffer can automatically called on page?


or there way around pass relevant information?


i looked components , while great , record lot of information unsure whether in situation.


btw. using j 1.5


many in advance.
