I've found that the following line is useful for tracking where a user has originated from: $url = urlencode (basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])); Firstly, we'll urlencode the value so it can be used in a form, or as an extra parameter in the URL. Then we take the basename of the current script pathname (ie /foo/bar.php becomes bar.php) append the question mark for the query string onto it, and then finally the query string values Brad "Rotsky" <rotsky@wanadoo.fr> wrote in message news:20030309124439.31722.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I'm using a login routine and I'd like to return the user to the page where > they started before going to the login form.
