This involves browser interaction and is not an internal redirect. prev() however works only with internal redirects, e.g. $r->internal_redirect, ErrorDocument, CGI script emitting only a "Location" header, ... Since HTTP is a stateless protocol there is no other way of maintaining state then transferring information from the server to the browser and back. This is what cookies are made for. Torsten
