Redirect to Referrer URL

[eluser]austintbiggs[/eluser]
I'm trying to figure out how to redirect to referrer, but Instead of using the redirect to referrer method proposed here couldn't you just check if the referrer url has the same base url and if so use

Code:

redirect($this->agent->referrer(), 'refresh');

but I'm stuck on what the if statement would look like?

have you tried this one :

Code:

if($this->agent->is_referral()){
redirect($this->agent->referrer(), 'refresh');
}

i didnt test it but i think this will solve your problem

This is how I do it:

Code:

if (isset($this->input->server('HTTP_REFERER')) && strpos($this->input->server('HTTP_REFERER'), base_url()) === 0)
{
    $this->session->set_userdata('prev_url', $this->input->server('HTTP_REFERER'));
}
else
{
    $this->session->set_userdata('prev_url', base_url());
}

// when Continue button clicked or whatever.
redirect($this->session->userdata('prev_url'), 'location');
