After Login go back to original Page.

[Russia]

I have this script, its a login script. Currently after logging in and checking the login it goes to accounts.php

 

Goes on top of the webpage:

<?php
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
header("location:accounts-login.php");
}
?>

 

Form:

<form autocomplete="off" id="form" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
<h1>Login Form</h1>
<p>Please log in to the admin area to view logged accounts.</p>

<label>Username
<span class="small">Min. size 6 chars</span>
</label>
<input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername" size="20" />


<label>Password
<span class="small">Min. size 6 chars</span>
</label>
<input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword" size="20" />

<button name="submitBtn" type="submit"></button>
<div class="spacer"></div>

</form>

 

checklogin.php

<?php
require "inc/config.php";
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM `admin` WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1)
{
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "accounts.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:accounts.php");
}
else 
{
header('Location:accounts-login.php');
}
?>

 

Lets say I was at contact.php, and I had no session, it would redirect me to accounts-login.php

 

after I login it takes me to accounts.php.

 

Accounts.php is like the index of the folder.

 

What I need is for it to take me back to the page I was viewing before.

 

Kind of like in vbulletin, if your viewing a thread and ur not logged in, when u login it takes u back to the thread.

 

Is that possible?

you can send the page via the URL .. something like this:

 

<?php
//user is not logged in, so display a link to the login page;
echo '<a href="login.php?return='.urlencode ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'">Login</a>';
?>

 

if you don't want to display a login link, just do a header() redirect:

 

<?php
header ('Location: login.php?return='.urlencode ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); exit (0);
?>

 

then, in the login script:

 

<?php
//do login stuff;

//after successful login .. redirect back;
header ('Location: http://www.your-site.com'.urldecode ($_GET['return'])); exit (0);
?>

 

something like that, anyways.
