Header Location Question
 

Hi,

I'm new to PHP and was wondering how to code to go back to the previous page after executing a script. I was told to use the following command:

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

Is this the best way to do this? Is there another way?

Thanks!

be careful in that there can be no other output previous to that command meant for the screen.

If you want to Automatically redirect the user to the previous page then its the shortest method.

If not then you can use JavaScript's history.back() too
