header location to back

[saidbakr]

Hi,

Is it possible to set header function to turn the location back to the previuos page? i.e as using back button in the brwoser which would prevent losting of filled data in form fields.

Hi,
Im not sure about the header but to stop losing saved data you could save the data into a session on the page that would contain the redirect and have the initial value to echo the sessions value out. This could be in a if statement so if there is no session the initial value would still be displayed. 😉

Ok,
That is good.
How can I make header("Location: xxxx") to return back ?
Is there something like header(Location: BACK) or something like that?

Maybe you could inplament the js back function into this...
