If I am redirecting many php pages to a single php page then how to redirect to
same page.
Ex.Suppose there are three pages One.php ,two.php,and three.php and from
these three pages I am redirecting to same page "Process.php" then

how to redirect to One.php if request comes from One.php?
how to redirect to two.php if request comes from two.php?
how to redirect to three.php if request comes from three.php?

Pass an identifier along in the URL that specifies which page the request came from.

One.php:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. header("Location: Process.php?ref=One.php");
  2.  
Process.php:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $referrer = $_GET['ref'];
  2.  
  3. // do something
  4.  
  5. header("Location: $referrer");
  6.

Hey Mark, I tried the same solution as you gave as soon as i posted query.

I was looking for some built in functions if available for this purpose.

Nope - this is something you will have to do. PHP doesn't provide tools for absolutely everything - only the tools you need.
