You can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] (it have the page name from where the user came from) in the place of url in the header()Remember to set a default url location to fallback incase $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is not a valid url

One way would be to save the page in the session before you redirect them to log in. Once they log in, you check to see if there's a page saved in the session and redirect them to that page instead of the default redirection. You can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] as the page to redirect back to after they login. So, on your protected page you check if they're logged in. If they aren't logged in, you save $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in the session, like in $_SESSION['login_redirect'] for example. After you save that to the session, you redirect them to the login page. Once they successfully log in, you check if $_SESSION['login_redirect'] is set. If it is, redirect to that page, or else redirect to where you do now.

Will i write like this?if login successfully

header("location:$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']");

What i have to do in the if true part for redirecting a user that place where he/she wanted to visit before login?

if($count==1){// store session data$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);//echo $row['name'];$_SESSION['harun']= $row['email'] ;//print $row['name'] . "Thanks, Redirecting";header( "location:member_login_success.php");}else {//echo "Wrong Username or Password";//print "Wrong Username or Password";header("location:member_login_wrong.php");

if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) // <=you can add validation of the referer. REMEMBER this header is spoofableheader( "location:{$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}");elseheader( "location:{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}"); }
