Thanks for the heads up, jeff. I'll try this out a bit later. Cheers!

In my applications where I need to do this, I carry around a variable called $returnto. Then all of my urls contain '&returnto=' . myGetURI($returnto). On the page with the clickable icons, just use '&returnto=' . $returnto on the icons in order to not add the current page into the history. Then you can have a back button with href=$returnto. The code below adds the current page to the $returnto variable, preserving other querystring variable. function myGetURI($returnto) { global $QUERY_STRING; global $SCRIPT_NAME; if ($returnto=='close') { $function_ret='close'; } else { $QS=$QUERY_STRING.''; $tempURI=$SCRIPT_NAME.($QS!=''?'?'.$QS:''); if ((strpos($QS,"returnto")==0) && ($returnto!='')) { $tempURI=hrefargs($tempURI,'returnto',$returnto); } $function_ret=rawurlencode($tempURI); } return $function_ret; } function hrefargs($href,$arg,$val) { $function_ret = $href.((strpos($href,'?')>0)?'&':'?').$arg.'='.rawurlencode($val); return $function_ret; } ----- Original Message ----- From: "Weng Cheng" <wengcheng@ephone.com.ph> To: <php-objects@yahoogroups.com>; <php_king@yahoogroups.com>; <php-list@yahoogroups.com>; <php_mysql@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 12:42 AM Subject: Returning to previous page > Hi all, > > I got a dynamic page where a list is called from the DB.
