heres a good question,.......I am sure that most of you guys are using a login.php or some other page that process's you users when they login.

Question, how to you return them to the page they were on after they login?

$HTTP_REFERER isn't a good way,....because if it takes the user 3 trys to get the username/password correct, the $HTTP_REFERER would be the same login.php page.

any ideas?

HTTP_REFERER isn't good for anything now. Track it through sessions.....

how do you get the entire address/location? like profile.php?uid=54 or whatever,.... $PHP_SELF will only grab profile.php not the args after it.

hey Taelo....

if you had the script like:

admin.php?uid=59&myname=fakker&Ilove=beer

the following can be done like:

$SCRIPT_NAME would return /admin.php

$QUERY_STRING would return everything after the ? ... so it would return "uid=59&myname=fakker&Ilove=beer"

As for the login situation... simply use a variable which grabs the above and stores it in to $lastpage or something.. then when they login, simply do a "header(location: $lastpage)" then the user will go back to the last page they were on before they were on the login page...

hope that helps some..?!

I know what you mean by $QUERY_STRING but isn't there another way of getting that? isn't that stuff part of the $SERVER globals or something?
