URL question,, I think.

I have a pagination setup with an update button on each page. Lets say I have 5 pictures to view, each one with its own page... And someone updates picture #2...After the update there is a header setting to keep them at the same page with a success message...

header("location: http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyy.php");

 

The only problem is when they update picture #2 the URL is something like

header("location: http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyy.php?pageno2");

 

What should I put in the header setting so it keeps them at the same picture after they update????

I assume you use $_GET to get the page number or the page id or whatever. So in header, just add that part in.

[justAnoob]

This is what gets the page number

$_GET['pageno']

Does the update button take the user to another page?

[justAnoob]

Lets say the page that the user can look at their pics is called    http://www.COOL.com/pics.php

 

The pagination is setup for 1 picture at a time....

 

So when they click the next button,,, the URL reads as follows    http://www.COOL.com/pics.php?pageno2

 

and so on....

 

When they do an update with picture number 2...... It takes them back to  http://www.COOL.com/pics.php

 

I would like it to keep them on pageno2.....

 

 

Later down the road,,,, If they click on the delete button,,, I will have it take them to the picture that is previous to the one deleted.... But for now,,, I'm not worried about that.

... well I already know all that. My question is... when the user clicks the update button, what PHP file handles the update? Is it pics.php or some other file?

[justAnoob]

It is another file    update.php

[Ken2k7]

Use SESSION to keep track of the last page the user has been to. Either that or send the pageno over to update.php.
