login then back to the previous page

mcmall

Hi I am a newbie, and I am having some troubles need someone to help me out. I am currently having a login page.

heres my login form

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <form action="member.php?action=logindo" method="post" id="form_login" name="form_login" >

<input type="text" name="txtloginname" id="txtloginname" tabindex="1"/>

<input type="text" name="txtloginpwd" id="txtloginpwd" tabindex="1"/>

<input name="save" id="save" value="submit">

</form>

How do I write a php page so that if someone login then the page will back to the previous page automatically. (LIKE EBAY)

should I use <input="hidden" or ['_SERVER']['HTTP_REFERER']??

Have a hidden input on your form that stores the url of the page the form is on (relative or full). Then use the header() function to redirect to the page.

You could also just use the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] variable in your "member.php" page.

For example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php

// Do your login stuff here...
 
header("Location: ". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

?>

Note that the HTTP_REFERER is supplied by the client, so this might be used to feed bad URL's in to the redirect. (Although I fail to see how this might be abused for malicious purposes. (but then again, I am not thinking at 100% capacity at the moment :P))
