[!--quoteo(post=367690:date=Apr 23 2006, 09:37 AM:name=redbullmarky)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE(redbullmarky @ Apr 23 2006, 09:37 AM) [snapback]367690[/snapback][/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] if you omit the 'index.php'/'index.htm' part, they will just default to that. so in your above example, it is equivalent of: [a href=\"http://www.domain.com/account/login/index.php?continue=redirect_url\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.domain.com/account/login/?continue=redirect_url[/a] as for redirecting afterwards, the $_GET array and 'header' function is used. [code] $redirect_to = $_GET['continue']; header("Location: $redirect_to"); exit; [/code] cheers Mark [/quote] where does the url go which it redirect to thanks paul
