Since you're checking to see if people are logged in and then sending them to
the login page if they're not...I would pass, via GET, the page they are on
when they were checked for being logged in and then the script on your login
page would take that GET and embed it into the POST form. When the user does
successfully login then you can throw them back to whatever was passed
through. As someone else mentioned and the PHP docs mention as well,
HTTP_REFERER isn't very reliable. I believe you can use $HTTP_SELF for the
first page when it needs to find out who it is.
Hope that helped.
