Parameters to 'main' function

Any clue on how to pass parameters to function main (supposing I need to
know the HTML page from which I call the Texis script for a search)?
Thanks

Antonio

Send them in as CGI query string variables
.../script/?param=value
Or as post variables from a form
<input type=hidden name=param value=value>
See http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/node18.html
and http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/node15.html

The parameter you're asking for is generally set by the web browser/server
already though. It's called HTTP_REFERER in many webservers.
