Question: My office is developing a password-protected LAMP-based site with thousands of pages. I'd like to be able to send an email to a client directing them to a particular page within the site. Assuming they are not already logged in, what happens is that they are directed to the login page, then, regardless of what link I put in the email, they end up at the default start page after the login.

Is there a way that, when clicking on a link to an internal page on a password protected site, the user can be sent directly to that page after the login?

Thanks,

[NeverMind]

it can be done with $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] but it will not always work !!

you can use header("Locatios: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");
which will redierct back to the referer page..
but this variable can be spoofed!!

Hi !

I think what you are asking for is not a question of a PHP or MySQL Script but a Webserver Configuration Problem. You can protect directories by .htaccess which will force anyone trying to access sites inside this directory to authenticate .htaccess.
