Re: Detect User Details? If you use a <script> tag then you will get the URL/page where the <script> tag is in as the referer.
example: if index.php has:
<script src="spy.php">
Then you'll always get index.php as the referer. This is because the user was on index.php when the HTTP request for spy.php was made.
If you want to get the site the user came from, then you have to save their referer in index.php. You can either append this data to your script src, or save it directly.
eg:
in index.php use:
Then in referer.php retrieve the site the user came from via:
Or you can just include spy.php in your PHP file:
This reduces the HTTP requests/bandwidth to your server.
One thing I noticed is the your spy.php gives non-js output. This will cause any JavaScript debuggers on the HTTP Client (users browsers) to display error messages.
What you want to do is give out a header('Content-Type: text/js'); and also reduce output to a format such as JSON or just JS. If viewed directly, you can still read the output and thus do your own debugging...

Try a simple example first:
index.php
spy2.php
See if you get the correct referer.
note: You have to click on a link from a different page that points to index.php to get the referer as that page. Or you can simulate a HTTP GET for your index.php page by using telnet:
This way you can be sure of what is being received...
Open your command prompt/terminal/shell:
type in: telnet h1.ripway.com 80
type in: GET /index.php HTTP/1.1
press enter
type in: HTTP-Referer: http://example.com/referer.php
press enter
type in: HOST: domain.com
press enter
type in: Connection: close
press enter
press enter
Then go to your log.txt file to see if you got the correct referer.
index.php
<script src="http://h1.ripway.com/Inny/spy2/spy2.php?referer=<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; ?>"></script>
spy2.php
<?php
file_put_contents('log.txt', 'Referer: '.$_GET['referer']."\n");
?>See if you get the correct referer.

Oh btw: you have to urlencode the HTTP referer since it may contain some url delimiters..
<script src="http://h1.ripway.com/Inny/spy2/spy2.php?referer=<?php echo urlencode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]); ?>"></script>
<script src="http://h1.ripway.com/Inny/spy2/spy2.php?referer=<?php echo urlencode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]); ?>"></script>

Would it be possible to get the info I want and write to a log.txt using javascript instead?
seems my site has a problem parsing php?
or maybe its the host im using for spy.php?
I dont know of another free host that allows php, not sure what version of php my server supports.

Try using and include() instead of <script> in your index.php PHP and see what you get.
