lAZLf Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I need a page to go back one page in the browser history. How would I do this? (NOTE: I know this can be done in JavaScript, but I want it in PHP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 PHP has no concept of a users history, the best you could do would be to redirect to the refering page which can be found within $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roopurt18 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 PHP has no concept of a users history, the best you could do would be to redirect to the refering page which can be found within $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. Without extra help on your part, this is true. However it would not be difficult to keep a stack of "request history" where the URL and POST data was saved. You could then perform a "go back to history item X in the past" by using HttpRequest and posting to your own site the same data it received.

premiso Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think you would need a time machine to go back in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
