So, here is the scenario. I'm creating an application that requires users to log in. If they are not logged in, I redirect them to the login page, where after they log in, they can access specific pages. For example:

- User tries to access mywebsite.com/app/somepage.php?var1=boo&var2=foo&var3=bar&var4=garpl y
- User is not currently logged in
- User is redirected to the log in page
- User logged in successfully
- User is redirected back to mywebsite.com/app/somepage.php?var1=boo&var2=foo&var3=bar&var4=garpl y

I'm having a problem with the redirection page to the specific page part. If I pass the return address to the log in page and then use the $_GET statement to get the URL, it only gets mywebsite.com/app/somepage.php?var1=boo. The rest of the arguments get chopped off... how do I do something like this correctly?

See http://us.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php or you can get the data from globals $_GET and HTTP_REFERER and reconstruct the URL and get string

I'm afraid I don't quite understand... could you please elaborate?

Sorry, memory going:

Come in to page http://x.om/z.php?b=1&c=2 The bit before the ? is available in one variable and the bit after in another.

PHP Code:

$target_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] . "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
