social media sharing and tracking

pasta_paul

Is there a way to track when user visits our page from social media like facebook, twitter or pinterest? is there a way to add some parameters to the url so that it will be easier to track?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?> This tiny php script enables you to know from where the user came from. EDITS As nyshangal asked for jsp code JSP request.getHeader("Referer"); I am not good at JSP. After googling I found that this above code will return the referrer from where the user came from. Thank you
