Storing previous URL as session data

[eluser]janogarcia[/eluser]
@crikey This is the most simple method I've used:

Save the url string of every controller method that loads a view containing the link to the delete action.

Code:

set_cookie('history', $this->uri->uri_string(), '0');

Then, at the end of your delete action redirect the user back to the calling point.

Code:

redirect(get_cookie('history'));

Of course, you could use session variables instead of cookies.
