You can use the HTTP_REFERRER, but i wouldn't depend on it, it isn't a required header for the client. what you prolbably should do is when the arn't logged int, you can send them to something like: header('location: login.php?next=a.php'); Then on your login form add a hidden variable: <input type="hidden" name="next" value="<?echo $_GET['next']?>"> Finally when the user submits this form, and the user logs in successfully you know that you need to redirect them to the a.php.
