Get current page name with PHP and jQuery AJAX

I want to log the referer and landing page for visitors to a site. Here's the basic set up:

In my index.html file I include my javascript file: <script src="js/log.js"></script>. From here I use an AJAX call to a PHP file to get the referer and landing page like so:

$.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: 'php/functions.php',
    data: 'request_type=get_page_info',
    success: function (data) {
                console.log('DATA: '+data);
    }
});

In my PHP functions.php file I return the referer and landing page like so:

if( isset($_POST['request_type']) &&  $_POST['request_type'] == 'get_page_info'){
   echo 'The referer is: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].' and 
         the landing page is: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

All fairly straightforward. Say I came to this site from stackoverflow.com I would expect the data in the AJAX success function to look like:

The referer is: http://ift.tt/fyw30c and the landing page is: http://ift.tt/1jgkQDu

However, instead I am getting this:

The referer is: http://ift.tt/1jgkQDu and the landing page is: http://ift.tt/1hAV7al

Where am I going wrong with this?

Thanks in advance.
