Hi,
I am using the following code to initialise a session, depending on
whether-or-not the users' log in attempt has been successful.
if ($session_ok == "TRUE") {
//open the session
session_start() ;
//assign user details to session
$_SESSION[txt_user] = $user_id;
$_SESSION[user_pass] = $user_pass;
$_SESSION[ses_state] = "TRUE";
header("Locatio n: ../index.php");
}
as you can see the script then refers back to my index.php page, after the
session is ok'd.
What I would like to do is change this so that is goes back to the referring
page, instead of the index.php page, which requires the user to then
navigate to their previous page again.
I have attempted to use $HTTP_REFERER, although for me (on IE6) for some
reason their is no value in the variable!
Any help appreciated!
Thanks. 3 4433

Wrong idea. What if the referrer page is other than your site?
The correct idea is to track the current url of the page in cookie.
So, while logining just check if that cookie is set; if it is set then
redirect to that page.

I was wondering if there was an easy way to have a form set up so that when
the submit button is pressed, it goes to a confirmation page that contains a
back button that goes back to the page that called the form.
Basically, I'm looking at a scenario where 10 pages can call the form, but I
want to user to be able to click the back button and be returned to the page
they were on when they click on the link to the form.

I have some pages that can be arrived at from more than one other

Thought there would be a url in referrer but it seem to be empty.

I created a page which I am using to prevent the user from hitting the BACK

auto-redirects to a page specified in the QueryString. (We'll call the page

right back to where you hit the button.
In Page_Load of this "Auto Jump"...

Is there a way to carry data that I have already read from the datagrid from
page to page?
I am looking at my Datagrid that I page through and when the user says get
the next page, I have to go to the database to get the next page. Is there
a way to use the dataset to allow us to read back and forth in it instead of
going back to the database to get it?
