添加记录PHP后返回上一页

Question

I have 2 PHP pages. One in the "add.php" page and the other is the "proccess.php" page. The "process.php" is simply the php the saves the added record to mysql database.

After the record is saved, I have the following to go to specific page after record is saved.

header('Refresh: 3; URL=edit/edit.php'); 

Rather then do this, I would like it to go back to the previous page "add.php". But I don't want to specify the page, just tell it to go back 1 page.

Answer 1

Try this:

 header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

Note that this may not work with secure pages (HTTPS) and it's a pretty bad idea overall as the header can be hijacked.

Or this one:

header("location:javascript://history.go(-1)");

Hope this helps.
