I solved it using Javascript to get the referrer of the parent doc, and
pass it as a get request.

Buh. That's the problem. There's no assurance that in will be used from
a PHP script, so I can't do that. Mrrr.
Let me explain what I'm doing, and someone can pipe up if they have a
better idea.
I'm writing a tracking module for a shopping cart system, so that we can
track where people came to our site from, and correlate that information
with whether or not they ordered. Right now, I'm trying to do this with
a php script in an image tag, so that I can set the cookies I need.
However, I need to be able to get the referrer from the page that is
calling the image, and I can't assume it's php. Any advice?

Related to my last question about the cookies in images, is there any
way to get the referrer from the calling page without passing it as an
argument to the image generation script?

Matthew, you're going to have to save it as a variable somewhere to be
able to retrieve it. If you have session management then you could just
register the variable and it would exist on the next page.
