[SOLVED] Storing URL value into a variable.

[ghosh]

Hello

 

Is there any way to store url into a variable and then use the variable to send the user back to the same page from where he came ???

 

 

Thanks.

Basically make a Back button on the page?

[ghosh]

That is also fine. How do I do that?

[LiamProductions]

something like this:

 

<?php

$back = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

<a href="$back">go back</a>

?>

[ghosh]

Thank you so much.. by the way is there any way I can use php to redirect the page after some time...if the user dont click on the back page.

here's an example of something I did that sores a URL in a variable. I don't think it's exactly what you're asking though. After rereading your post I realize I didn't get what you meant. lol

<?php
if (($_POST['answer'])=="Yes"):
$link="http://www.domain.com/images/yes.gif";
else:
$link="http://www.domain.com/images/no.gif";
endif;
echo "Your colorful answer is <IMG SRC=\"".$link."\"></IMG>";
?>

You could use a redirect script

WHat I mean is, I am making a non profit web for public to learn more about the harmful effects of various things of daily life. There is a option to post comments in each page. After posting comment I want to redirect each visitors back to the page from where they came. other wise it will be a cumbersome process for them to search for the same page... when my website grows.

 

so I was asking for some code by which I can send them back to the place from where they came.

 

thanks for taking so much interest to know.
