Using a session variable to remember a page?

[Solarpitch]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if I can use a session variable to remember what page the user was at last. ie. If user tries to login, it will bring them to process_login.php. If the login failed, the user selects "go back" and it will load the page that the user tired to login at.

Cheers.

Yes you can, you just need to do something like this on the top of every page (after session_start()).

[code]<?php
$_SESSION['last_page'] = (!isset($_SESSION['curr_page'])) ? "index.php" : $_SESSION['curr_page'];
$_SESSION['curr_page'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>[/code]

Then you can use the header() function to redirect using $_SESSION['last_page'].

Orio.
