I want to enable visitors to send the url of the page they visitied to their freinds by filling out forms. I want the e-mail to contain the url address they visited as well.
I tried to use two php scripts that are freely available on the web. The two scripts worked very well except (1) the url is not shown in the e-mail (2) I want to enable visitors to send more than one e-mail (currently it is set to only one e-mail).
Can some one help me on this ?
Thank you very much in advnace !
First script, file name [tell.php]

I have linked the tell.php to the page I want the url to be passed to the form. The $ref=@$HTTP_REFERER; turns blank always.
