Any PHP or server gurus around tonight?

Is there a way to use an image to track what URL somebody came from when they view the page with the image on it? I created a php file which outputs an image and stores HTTP_REFERER, but this just shows the URL that the actual image is loaded on. I want to see the URL that they came from.

Any ideas?

maybe try something like viewimg.php?ref=<?php echo $HTTP_REFERER; ?> for the image location, then have viewimg.php load the image and get the referrer?

no idea if it works, never tried it, just an idea

something like this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

docref = '';

if (document.referrer) docref=escape(document.referrer);

document.write('<img src="counter.gif?ref=' + docref + '">');

</script>
