Maybe keep a record in the session of the URLs the user has gone to.
Just don't store the URLs with a hash-mark in them. Store them as an
array and it'd be easy to make a back like by just using the next to
last or last element of the array...

Subject: [PHP] How to navigate backwards in PHP ???
This is really puzzling me ... I've tried finding the answer in the
manual
... but sofar without luck...
What I need to is simply to be able to make a go-back link that points
to
the URL that contains the page that had the link that send the user to
the
current page ... (did that make sense?)
Or to put it another way: I need to be able to have a link on page A,
point to page B, and then have page B know the exact URL of page A
(including all variables that's needed to build page A).
The thing is that simply using a href=javascript:history.go(-1)
doesn't work because the internal links adds the hash-mark (#) after
the
URL, and then the browser needs to go one more step backwards for each
time the user clicks on an internal link ...
I could easily write a JS function to handle all of this, but my goal
is
to not use any JS at all, and really, this is something that ought to
be
easily doable in PHP ... only I can't figure out how ... does it have
something like Document Referrer ??? which could contain the URL of
the
sender, which I'd then be able to plump into a variable, which could
then
be used when generating the links to go back to the sender page...
TIA
Rene
