Right if I understand this right, then I think this should do the trick:
In your href tags to the login page (say login.php) should look like this:
<A HREF="login.php?came_from=A">Click to login</A> for page A and
<A HREF="login.php?came_from=B">Click to login</A> for page B.
Your login page will now have a variable called $came_from containing either
A or B. Now you just want to test this variable and print out another href
depending on what came_from is:
if ($came_from=="A") print("<A HREF=\"pageA.html\">Click here to be
returned</A>");
if ($came_from=="B") print("<A HREF=\"pageB.html\">Click here to be
returned</A>");
Will that do?

Subject: [PHP-WIN] POST & REFERER problem
I need some guidance on the following problem.
I have a setup where the usage flow is (kinda) like this:
Page A ----\ /----\
| ---- Login -+-- [done login]
Page B ----/ |
\ \ (back to calling page) /
--------------------------------
Nice ascii art, heh?
Description:
I have a working session / authorization system which i want to add a
feature to.
A user who (either from page A or B) wants to login.
The user (if not logged in allready) gets presented a loginscreen
(login).
To login the user POST the login & pwd to the login page (to itself) for
validation.
If the login is successful i want to present the user with a link back
to the initial page (A or B).
How can i do this?
All i get from $HTTP_REFERER after the login page is - the login page.
I know that i must save the reference as the login page gets called the
first time, but i haven't managed to get something to work yet.
Any helpful soul out there?
