i am scripting a really complicated to explain to you guys php script

i have a switch set up to change something on or off in mysql database

but i want it after it is done with that to back them up to there previous page so they never really leave the page they were on.

reason i need this is because the script i am working on is using phpnuke and i got a block were the variables are changed and the links go to that switch.


i know of these 2 headers

Code:
Header("Location: URLHERE");

and of

Code:
Header("refresh: #; url= URLHERE");

Not really sure what you mean, but if the "switch" is attached to some sort of <a href.... you could do something like this.

<a href="same_url?action=bla>switch</a>

Then on the page have...

[php]
if(bla==$action){
do whatever;
unset($action);
}
[/php]

yea thats what i have


you can see at bottom i go 2 switchs with 2 cases in each. now after each one is done i want it to take it to the last page they were on and refresh.

Code:
	
		OpenTable();
		echo "<h2>Show/Hide Online and Hits</h2>"
		."<table><tr><td algin=right>"
		."Hide/Show Online:"
		."</td><td algin=left>"
		."<a href=modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&ShowOnline=On>On</a> : <a href=modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&ShowOnline=Off>Off</a>"
		."</td></tr><tr><td algin=right>"
		."Hide/Show Page Hits:"
		."</td><td algin=left>"
		."<a href=modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&PageHits=On>On</a> : <a href=modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&PageHits=Off>Off</a>"
		."</td></td></tr></table>";
		CloseTable();
	switch($ShowOnline) {
		case "Off": $sql = "UPDATE ".$prefix."_SBlock set Show_WhosOnline = '0'"; $db->sql_query($sql); Header ("Location: modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&Settings=Updated"); break;
		case "On": $sql = "UPDATE ".$prefix."_SBlock set Show_WhosOnline ='1'"; $db->sql_query($sql); Header ("Location: modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&Settings=Updated"); break;
		}

	switch($ShowPageHits) {
		case "Off": $sql = "UPDATE ".$prefix."_SBlock set Show_PageHits = '0'"; $db->sql_query($sql); Header ("Location: modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&Settings=Updated"); break;
		case "On": $sql = "UPDATE ".$prefix."_SBlock set Show_PageHits ='1'"; $db->sql_query($sql); Header ("Location: modules.php?name=SBlock&file=admin&Settings=Updated"); break;
		}

Code:
Header("Location: URLHERE");

Looks good to me. Easiest way is to use your $_SERVER superglobal:-

header("Location: {$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}");

don't forget an "exit;" after the header redirect. If you just redirect the user, the script will continue to execute to its completion (even though the user has been redirect). This can be handy in certain situations (such as maybe a script that takes a bit to run so you redirect the user to a landing page to check/wait for the script to complete); but in most cases, it is probably not desired to let it keep running after redirecting a user.

or try this:

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