php redirect page

[MDanz]

i'm trying this on my login script but it's not working.

 

$return = $_SESSION['url'];


header( 'Location: $return' ) ;

Look fine. Make sure you have session_start(); above the script and $_SESSION['url']; has a value

 

Another way is to get the page url and redirect to the users previous page

 

login.php?next=<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>

it shows this in the browser.

 

"http://www.example.com/$return"

 

so i echoed $return and there is a value, it's correct. 

 

So something must be wrong with the

 

header( 'Location: $return' ) ;

header( 'Location: ' . $return );

Yeah, something is wrong. Variable interpolation doesn't work with single quotes. Pikachu2000 provided the solution.
