Yes, but it works differently. If the user typed in the URL of your page
(instead of clicking a link) then you can't go back from PHP, so you need to
be careful. Here's some sample code:
<?php
$referer = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");
if ($referer)
{
$url = $referer;
}
else
{
// can't go back... try JS instead
$url = "javascript:history.back()";
}
echo "<a href=\"$url\">Back Button</a>";
?>
