Question

Answer 1

+6 A:

Try using this to perform the redirect:

<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 302 Found');
header('Location: ' . $_SESSION['page_refer']);
// And just in case that doesn't work
echo '<html>',
     '<head>',
     '<title>Redirect</title>',
     '</head>',
     '<body>',
     '<script type="text/javascript">',
     'window.location.href = "' . $_SESSION['page_refer'] . '";',
     '</script>',
     '<a href="' . $_SESSION['page_refer'] . '">Click here to continue</a>',
     '</body>',
     '</html>';
?>

Also note that use of the <meta> tag to redirect is discouraged by the W3C.

I made some changes. Now it will also give a 302 header, then try to redirect using JavaScript, and finally display a link. If that doesn't work, maybe you should check your PHP error log, or add `ini_set('display_errors', 'On');` to the top of the file. Note that `ini_set()` will only work if there are no parsing errors.

Answer 2

A:

Try a javascript redirect if setting the location header doesn't work:

echo '<script>window.location.href="',$_SESSION['page_refer'],'"</script>';

Answer 3

A:

If you do use header('location:'); based redirects make sure you add an exit() or die() afterwards, as the program will carry on running to the end, and some browsers may not even accept it, so it can fatally compromise security on occasions.
