Hey guys,

nice place you got here just found it.

I was wondering is there any way to copy the current url into a variable so I can use it later on other pages? It would be used for something like a "return to the last page" link - My script passes alot of pairs through the url bar eg:
/cgi-bin/script.pl?var1=something&var2=somethingelse... etc

I have tried tried using $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} but it just returns the url to the script and none of the vars.
I think in php you can use $PHP_SELF so I am looking for sometrhing like that, I am on IIS 5 and ActivePerl

Thanks very much

Kenny

Try $ENV{REQUEST_URI}

cheers for that

I am on a couple of IIS servers though and that ENV variable is not present on any of them

is there any other method?

thanks again.

$ENV{QUERY_STRING} ?
$ENV{PATH_TRANSLATED}

Not sure about the second one...I can't remeber what exactly it outputs.

Try printing them all to see....


print map { "$_ => $ENV{$_}\n" } keys %ENV;

ahhh thats the one '$ENV{QUERY_STRING}'

remember seeing it a while ago but had completely forgot about it.

I've managed to get a complete link now by
using:

$rtnlink = $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}."?".$ENV{QUERY_STRING};

Thanks very much for your help Paul, greatly appreciated - cheers
