Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

I am new to Yii. I created a login page and session. It is working fine. My problem is, if I close the window and login again, I want to redirect the previous page before it was closing the window.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yii::app()->request->urlReferrer will return you the referral URL but as for your case I am not sure whether it will work or not since you mentioned that the browser window was closed and reopened. If i’m not mistaken, session variable will only last until user closes their browser.

Otherwise, you may want to use cookies to keep track of users last visited URL.

To be able to redirect to the previous URL after logout and relogin, you may place the below code in your controller method.


$this->redirect(Yii::app()->request->urlReferrer);

Is fine, you should place the code in the action where you validate user access and redirect to the destination URL if conditions are met.
