Re: [PHP] Redirection Question

[Grant Rutherford]

Hello there,

I had the same problem, and to solve it I put the following code in my 
"check login" include file:

   // code to detect no login
   session_start();
   session_register('target');
   $_SESSION['target'] = "http://"; . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . 
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   header("Location: " . $loginpage);

This stores the user's original destination into a session variable.  I 
then just have the login page check to see if target is set:

   // code to authenticate login
   session_start()
   if (!empty($_SESSION['target'])){
       $target = 'Location: ' . $_SESSION['target'];
       session_unregister('target');
       header($target);
   } // if
I hope this helps,
Grant

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to redirect a user back to a page but not
having much luck. 

For example: I click on a menu item on my site which goes to a.php. This
file includes another file that determines if they are logged in or not.
If not, they are sent to login.php using header(:Location: .... ). How
would I automatically redirect them back to a.php after they have logged
in successfully. I have tried using HTTP_REFERRER, but it isn't
redirecting.
Any help is appreciated.
