page redirection

[Des]

I have a web email contact us that if the cancel button is presed
it redirects to the home page. using

header('Locatio n: index.php');

I have a session variable on every page which sets the a session
variable. What I want to do is

header('Locatio n: $return); where $return is a copy of the variable
the page that has the problem is send.asp

URL http://www.hopechurchuk.com/development

there is a contact us at the top of all pages on the banner.
sorry if this is a bit confusing.

I think you're looking for

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];


to achieve your goal:


in email.php
use
<input type="hidden" name="referer" value="<?php
echo($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);"/>

in send.php
if($_POST['submit']=="Cancel") {
header("Locatio n: ${_POST['referer']}");
} else {
// normal mail processing
// sth. like thanks your mail this
// <a href="${_POST['referer']}">link</a> takes you where you've been

}
(script untested)


hope (which is almost certain at this site ;-)) it helps

Re: page redirection

This only works if the person sends a successful email. If he is
redirected back because some fields
were missing then the cancel button takes you to the email it'self.
Will have to investigate this further.
