I just store it in a session variable. Any function that requires a
user to be logged in gets a line fo code like:
$this->Session->write('redirect', '/forums/index');
$this->checkSession();
$this->Session->delete('redirect');
This results in the user either getting redirected to the login page
via the checkSession() function if they're not logged in, or the
'redirect' session getting deleted if they're already logged in
(because if that's the case, we don't need to redirect them). If the
user isn't logged in, they go to the login form, and enter their
username/password.
At that point (we've now moved to the login() function), if they
manage to log in correctly, I do something like this:
if(session_is_registered('redirect')) {
$redirect = $this->Session->read('redirect');
$this->Session->delete('redirect');
$this->redirect($redirect);
}
... which sends them back to whichever page redirected them to the
login page. Probably not the prettiest method, but it works.
