Redirection to last url??

[Brian Huether]

I want my site to send users back to where they were prior to being told
they have to login. For instance, say user accesses page1.php. They try to
do something and they get a message telling them to login. So they login,
which is done at login.php. After they log in, I want them to end up back at
page1.php.

Any idea how to do this?

thanks,

brian

IMHO most often used:

request: http://example.com/foo
respons:
if logged in: the content of http://example.com/foo
if not : redirect to
http://example.com/login.php?oldurl=...mple.com%2Ffoo

request: http://exmaple.com/login.php
respons: authenticate user
if autheticates and oldurl exists: redirect to $_GET['oldurl']
if autheticates and oldurl misses: redirect to loggedin.html
else get authentication
