lets say the user has clicked on the edit personal profile page, but hes not being logged in, thus he will be redirected back to the login page.

and after the user has logged in, i need to redirect the user back to the ORIGINAL page which the user wanna view, in this case it'll be the edit personal profile page.

may i know how do i go about doing the redirecting user back to the original page?

many thanks in advance. =)

You could do something like this.

When the user hits the restricted page and gets bumped back to the login page, you probably are checking a session variable, something like this

if session("loggedin") <> 1 then response.redirect "login.htm"

You could add to it

if session("loggedin") <> 1 then
session("attemptedpage") = "editprofile.asp" //you would change this for different pages
response.redirect "login.htm"
end if

then in your login check pages, check for that session variable

// logged in successful
session("loggedin") = 1
if session("attemptedpage") <> "" then
response.redirect session("attemptedpage")
else
response.redirect "usualloginpage.asp"
end if

The following code will redirect the user to the page she/he comes from.

Response.Redirect "../login/login.asp?redir=" & Server.URLEncode(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INF O"))

thats not what he asked - won't work for what he wants to do.

First, you need to check if the user is logged in. If not, you can redirect the user to Login page. Here is the example. In your EditProfile.asp page, you can add the following code at the beginning of the code:

<%
If Session("UserID") = "" Then
Response.Redirect "../login/login.asp?redir=" & Server.URLEncode(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INF O"))
End If
%>

In your Login.asp, you can catch the value of redir and then pass it to LoginProcess.asp page.
<form action="LoginProcess.asp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="redir" value="<%= Request("redir") %>">
......
</form>

In your LoginProcess.asp, you need to redirect the user to EditProfile.asp page if login is successful.

If Request("redir") <> "" Then
Response.Redirect Request("redir")
Else
' go to the page you want
End If
%>

yup yup. everything's working now. thanks alot dudes !

and by the way, im not a HE. im a SHE. *winks* heh
