getting urlpath

[Anon]

Hi
In my page i am authenticating for valid user.If he is not a valid user i am redirecting to the login page using header function.Once the check is over in the login page for the valid user and password i want to redirect to the same page.Here how can i get the url path from which it was redirected to the login page.So that i can redirect to the page he wants to go.Can anyone help me in this?.
Thanks in advance.

Why not change your authentication to happen in an object which is called at the beginning of any page?

PHPLIB uses an auth object which will die() in the script if the user isn't logged in but will not change the url the user is trying to access.

While $HTTP_REFERER (check spellin') is what you are asking for, my solution is a lot easier to maintain.
