Several ways,

the easiest is to have a hidden field in your login form that holds the current URL
<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="<?PHP echo $SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?".$SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]; ?>">

is a good way to start, then on successfull login, redir to $_POST["goto"];

or store it in a session

$SESSION["lastpage"] = $SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];

You dont know how to redirect or how to find the referer?

For redirect: [man]header[/man]

For referer: Predefined Variables

'HTTP_REFERER'
The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.
