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 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? 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?
