redirect using session

[sfx81]

Hi, I got a page name in referrer variable, and by echoing it, it shows correct page, but I cant redirect it to to that page. I tried like this ...

 

echo $_SESSION['referrer'];

header('refresh:2; url = $_SESSION['referrer'] ');

result:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\wamp\www\test\signup.php on line 28

 

 

and then something like this.

echo $_SESSION['referrer'];

header('refresh:2; url = $_SESSION[\'referrer\'] ');

 

result: (Rather than taking value from variable, its redirecting to "$_SESSION['referrer'] page.)

http://localhost/test/$_SESSION['referrer']

 

Any idea whats going wrong ?

<?php
$url = $_SESSION['referrer'];
header('Location: $url');

 

if you want to put a delay on it use sleep() around header().

Hi, tried this

<?php

$url = $_SESSION['referrer'];

header('Location: $url');

?>

 

but this is giving up HTTP 404 error (page not found)

 

however strangly enough, if I try to go back via putting the url as link on page it works

echo "<a href = \"$url\"> Back </a>";

What is the code where your storing the $_SESSION?

 

This should work:

header("location: $_SESSION['referrer']");

 

Well, does for me.
