hello..
i am clicking url which redirects to my webpage. for example user is not login to that site then it redirects to login page. up to there its fine. after user login how can i redirect to requested page?

When redirecting them in the first place add into the redirect url "login.php?url=".urlencode(/path/to/page/from.php); Then on the form you place in the action= parameter the above path which is now in the $_GET tag.

Give redirected url in form action...

no....it is not the right thing.
you obserb in yahoo...or any thing.
in that when we clicks url from our mail then it redirects to current url if you are already loged in yahoo. otherwise it redirects to login page ...after it redirects to requested page.

firsttime you login yahoo page . after login it redirects to home page. if you request yahoo page with out login it redirects to login page after it redirects to requested page.

yes i understand...

Try creating session... if you are logged in it will show your process page else it redirect to home page...

if not logged in redirect to login page
after login, redirect to $_SERVER;
whatever page sent the user to the login page

It is simple really. When you link you include the url of that page in that link. So for example:

<?php
echo '<a href="anotherpage.php?previouspage='.urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'">Test link</a>';
?>

Then anotherpage.php

$login_status=true;
if ($login_status==true) {
header('Location: http://yoursite.com'.$_GET['previouspage']); //no ending slash
}

Well other options include sessions and cookies. If you don't want that in the url then I would suggest using cookies. To use cookies place the following at the very top of every page.

setcookie('yummy',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],time()+(60*60*24));

Then your redirect will be as follows.

$login_status=true;
if ($login_status==true) {
header('Location: http://yoursite.com'.$_COOKIE['yummy']); //no ending slash
}

Hope that helps...
---------------
For the Gurus:
Note that the php http referer is not always accurate as many browsers including my own do not send that information. Instead the http referer as mentioned in previous posts will at times be an empty string. That is why I suggest using the above method.
