So I am using Flexi Auth to handle my logins, but I want to redirect back to the referring page after login. The way I thought of doing it is like this:
on a page set a session to refer variable that is just the controller, not the url;
after you click the login page and you are authenticated it get's the refer session variable and does a redirect back;
Is there something I am missing security wise that would make this a bad idea?

Should be fine as long as your controller always check that the user is logged in and authorised to view the page

Thank you, that's what I thought too. All the controllers that require it, do check to see if they are logged in and if they are authorized to view a page.
