Back buton – several pages back – in HTML ?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 09.2007

Hello,

I dont know if someone had the same problems, but it seem to me that it is quite common.

For a service I would offer my visitors to log in or register…
Then after registering or logging in I would like to direct them back to the page where they had been diverted from.
And the number of steps and the page are not always the same.

Is there a way to “remember” the page name when click on register or login and at the end of the reg/log process go back there?

Thanks

Attila

@Declan1991Dec 09.2007 — Log it as a session variable.

I guess I need a PHP for that, but I do not have the knowledge...

Is there a simple script for it?

Thanks !

@nap0leonDec 10.2007 — On page one of your registration process add a line of code that captures the HTTP_REFFERER variable. You can then reference that URL in an href or a redirect.

Presuming Classic ASP (I've never touched PHP):
[CODE]
<%
session("PageUserWasOnBeforeRegistering") = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERRER")
%>
[/CODE]

You can now use that variable on a link the user clicks on to return from whence they came...

[CODE]
<a href="<%=session("PageUserWasOnBeforeRegistering")%>" alt="Return to Whatever">Return</a>
[/CODE]

Success!
