[SOLVED] Redirect to previous page

[sciencebear]

I have a page that process some mysql queries which all work fine, but I'd like for the page to redirect the user to the previous page when they are done. What code can I use to do this?

[JonnoTheDev]

use a header

// run mysql query
$result = mysql_query("blah....");
// redirect user
header("Location:page1.php");
exit();

use a header

// run mysql query
$result = mysql_query("blah....");
// redirect user
header("Location:page1.php");
exit();

I've used header before, but the users will be coming from different pages, not just one.

 

Edit: nevermind, I figured it out. I used:

header('Location:'.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']);

The referring page is stored in $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

header("Location:".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
exit();

 

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS is depreciated
