thanks...

I know that this is probably really simple, but it is something that I need to quickly get outta the way and I have been searching everywhere for an answer to this question.....I can admit it, I am actually beggin🙁

Issue a header redirect to $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

rtown

I have tried that, but I am trying to incorporate it as part of a form..I don't know how I would insert that to the form header, the way that I attempted first just reloaded my login page (same page) but minus the form???

I had:
<form action="<?=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']?>" method="POST">

any ideas...I have a header() to redirect me to the login page, but after logging in I need to bounce them back to where they were trying to go.

Any ideas?

Ok, you could do something like this:

User requests page
user is redirected to login.php
at this point you echo $SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] into a hidden form input, let's say 'goto'.
the user logs in
you redirect the user to $POST['goto']
