Ricky55 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi I have two pages that link to the same php file. This php file has a back button, how can I code the button so when the user clicks it takes them back to the page they were just viewing? Just like the browsers back button does. I already have a variable set up called $title that creates the page title from the file name is that helps. I want to say if previous page == page a then take the user back to page a and the same for page b I just don't know how to write the link. Sorry for asking for so much. Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/233502-take-user-back-to-previous-page/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky55 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 is it best to do it with javascript? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/233502-take-user-back-to-previous-page/#findComment-1200778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjoe Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I 2nd that. You said it yourself: " Just like the browsers back button does." So why not ask the browser to do it?
