Remove variables from address bar

[ts10]

Hello,

My script directs a user to this page:

http://mydomain.com/publisher/index.php?admin=logout

and once the logout is performed I want to redirect them back to whatever the address is WITHOUT the "?admin=logout" on the end. How would I do that with PHP? I remember using a http_referrer() before but can't seem to get that to work right.

The address will be different each time so I just need a way to refresh the current page and leave off the "?admin=logout" at the end. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Why don't you use the post method then in your logout script instead of get? Or you could try something like this:

<?
     $location = str_replace("?admin=logout", "", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
     header("Location: $location");
?>

You could also just do:

<?
     header("Location: index.php");
?>

1. Use sessions to store the current page URI.

2. Use the referrer header (can be found in $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']), though understand that the referrer HTTP header is not required and not all browsers (or proxies/gateways/etc.) will send this.

assuming that at the top of index.php you're doing stuff if admin=logout, refresh the page at the end of that stuff with header(location:self).
