Question about url variables

[rappelec]

Does anyone know of a way to grab a complete url, save it in a variable and transfer it to another page.

Thanks,

Robert

Are you trying to get the user's REQUESTED page?

If so, this will do it:

<CFSET sRequestPage = "http://" & CGI.SERVER_NAME & CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & "?" &
CGI.QUERY_STRING>

If you need to, you can also test for (CGI.HTTPS IS "On").

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by user's REQUESTED page. What I
have is a page with an article on it and a link to a "email this article" form.
The is used for sending someone the url of the page that contains the article.
I tried using <CFSET sRequestPage = "http://" & CGI.SERVER_NAME &
CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & "?" & CGI.QUERY_STRING> but I still just get the path
[url]http://www.company.com/newsandpubs/pr/[/url]
Maybe I'm emplimenting this wrong. I have <CFSET sRequestPage = "http://" &
CGI.SERVER_NAME & CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & "?" & CGI.QUERY_STRING> at the top of the
article page and <cfparam name="sRequestPage" default=""> at the top of the
email form page. Then I include #sRequestPage# between the cfmail tags.

So you are displaying a page and it has a button like "Email this page" which
posts to your email page, and you want to send the full original URL?

If that is what you are asking then Add this tag inside the form that has your
email button:
<input type="hidden" name="sRequestPage" value="#sRequestPage#" />

In your email page, you would have:
<cfparam name="FORM.sRequestPage" default="">

and
#FORM.sRequestPage# between the cfmail tags.
