NEED HELP WITH BACK BUTTON...

[rsammy]

i need help adding a BACK button in a php page. i just need to send control back to the previous page

this is the code for a Reply button on the page:

header("Location: compose.php?mess_id=".$_POST["mess_id"]. "&reply=".$_POST["reply"]. "&m1=".$_POST["m1"]."&d1=".$_POST["d1"]."&y1=".$_POST["y1"]."&m2=".$_POST["m2"]."&d2=".$_POST["d2"]."&y2=".$_POST["y2"]."&inboxcounter=".$_POST["inboxcounter"]."&sentcounter=".$_POST["sentcounter"]);

I just need to add another button - Back button and transfer control back to the previous page. how do i do that? i know there is a code like

javascript:window.history.back(-1)

but, how do i incorporate it in this code.

thanx in advance
