Capture the current page(url) into a variable?

[Akhenaten]

What's the most effective way to capture a URL to pass as a variable?
I have a login function I want to modify to redirect the user back to
the page they logged in from. I know how to do the redirect, just
uncertain of capturing the URL.

TIA

Study the output of <?php print_r($_SERVE R); ?>. It's $_SERVER['...']
something, I don't remember the exact key, but you'll see the complete
list there.

You could store the last page they came from using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
or you could include some code to keep a FIFO buffer of the last pages
visted(asusming you only want to return to pages on your own site).


So something like

array_push($Las tPages, __Current_Page_ _);

and then you can access the previous pages.

Theres probably better ways though....

You might want to have a look at the value of:
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

Remember that these values are provided by the webserver, so
no guarantee is made that $_SERVER vars will be
available, but in practice they usually are.

Hope that helps,
Carl.

Thx! The variable was $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
