[SOLVED] Login Page - Previous Page

[xfire]

Hey all,

 

I have a login page, and instead of going to the index.php page all the time after a successful login, I want the user to be directed to the last page they where at, as long as it is a page on the website.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks!!

try HTTP_REFERER'

 

http://www.php.net/reserved.variables

Yeah, tried $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and it doesn't want to work

 

If I do an echo, it echo's the correct page, but after the login all it does is load the login page again.

use guest for the username and password

can we see how you redirect

[teng84]

ohh i see

 

you can put the value of that referrer in a hiddenfield or session so that when you go to that page it contains the last visited page

 

and on submit do something like

header('location: yoursession or hidden field')

 

the way your code run is correct but sure that not the way you want it

I am currently not using SESSIONS before the person logs in (though I just found a new register/login/etc script I may switch to).  How would I go about using the hidden field option?

<input name="Input" type="hidden"  value="<?=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']?>"/>

[xfire]

That worked

 

Thanks
