I'm not a php guru by any means...but...

It looks like you've defined the variable $mail as the mail function, but you haven't done anything with it.

Axe the "$mail = " part and it should send.

Later!

that isnt the problem it send fine, the problem is that it doesnt sent the page url

I'm testing it on my server. Your code works fine.

One thing I changed was for the action for the form to be <?php print $PHP_SELF ?>. I know you're not using "somepage.php", but are you using the current page to process the form?

HTTP_REFERER is optional. Depending on your browser, browser version, or browser settings it is not set. In short, you cannot rely on HTTP_REFERER to be set and if it is set, you cannot rely on the value in it. For example, I could remotely call your script using a script and set HTTP_REFERER to be my site and your mail server would send it.

So is there another way of doing it that is reliable?

If it's always going to be sent from the same site, you could prefix $PHP_SELF with the default path.

same site different URL

example1
www.XXXX.com/article01.htm

example2
www.XXXX.com/article02.htm

and so on

same site different URL

example1
www.XXXX.com/article01.htm

example2
www.XXXX.com/article02.htm

and so on

Right.
