You could save it with sessions.

$_SESSION['url'] = $the_url;

And then

$redirect_string = "Location: " . $_SESSION['url'];
header($redirect_string);

FatalError

If you only need this on your local files, then just (assuming you know the URL to your own files) save the file URL in a database, and retrieve it later.

thnax for the replay

but my main concern is i don't know the exact url, the whole concept is i have many pages with many forms in them and when ever any user submits the form i validate the inputs and if there are any error in the input i need to send him back to that page, without making him click the back button. so how do i do this?

i think i cannot use header() here as there is a lot of data already outputed.

even if i did this some how i need to maintain the same input what the user has made so that he needs to make only the correction on errors he made during the first submit.

hope i expressed my self correctly.

thanx for the replay though
