Automatically returning to previous page on error.

[khovorka]

Hello,

I would like to know how to return to the previous page in
my browser if the following error condition occurs.

If mysql_fetch_row returns false I would like to automatically
go back to the previous page in my browser.

I can come up with something not so well coded, but, I am
hoping there is a simpler way to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Kim Hovorka

Hi,

there might be a solution using just one script. But I need more information. What do you want to do exactly ? Is it some kind of HTML form ?

if u store the url your visitor on in the session or something, and then have avalable in $previous_url variable (just an example) then u could redirect by using:

Header("Location: ".$previous_url);

ofcourse u should update current url at the end of your script, so this way u would have "previous" url, not the current one, during the entire script.
