Redirect to current page value for input value in form

Question

In my html I currently have:

 <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="example.com" />

Is it possible to change the value to redirect to the current page (basically refreshing the page) without having to manually put the url in for each page?

You can do:- `` Or ``. But this will work only when page extension will be `.php` not `.html` — Alive to die - Anant, Oct 09 '17 at 11:14

Yes, you could add this function to your code. I use it in some of my application

create a function like :

function getPageUrlNoQuery()
{
    $pageUrl = ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
    return $pageUrl;
}

include the function file, and call.

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="<?php echo getPageUrlNoQuery() ?>" />

Have edited, and i think this should work in most architecture as long as you can call the function, or class. whichever you use.

1. He didn't want it in the `
` attribute. 2. That may not work in every architecture, if I understand the way it works correctly.

Well, in PHP you should know what page you are loading anyways and then put that value in. (I don't know your architecture, but either set a variable in your controller manually or if you don't use Controllers, then simply extract the URL from the get request.)

Alternatively you can use Javascript:

document.getElementById('YourLink').value = window.location.href;
