Go Back Page Link

[utkesmer]

I am trying to make a link which you will go to back page when you clicked on it. Is there a link like this?Exp., maybe like this. --> <a href="_back">Go Back.</a>

you can do it with javascript, if I'm correct. It involves using the browsers history (part of the DOM?) to determine where they've been.

Hımmm we can do with javascript but can not with html... Ok, thanks.

You could also do it with PHP by storing the last page you were on in a session variable and linking to that value/<a href="<?php echo $_SESSION["last-page"]; ?>">Go back</a>I like this approach because it works even if JavaScript is not enabled.

Using the HTTP_REFERER header is probably better. That way it would work even if you got to the page through somewhere else.

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>">Go back</a>
