I have a controller called Accounts, with the views signin and signout.
The corresponding functions look like this:
function signin()
{
if (!empty($this->data))
{
//handle login
...
//save login to session
$this->Session->write('Account', $data["Account"]);
//redirect to previous page
???
}
}
function signout()
{
//delete login
$this->Session->delete('Account');
//redirect to previous page
???
}
If the user goes to `accounts/signin` it first checks to see if the form is submited `if(!empty($this->data))` if yes, it logs them in, if not it renders the signin form. If they do succesfully log in, I want to redirect them to the page they were at before the signin page.
Whats the best way to do that?
**Edit:**
I do not think I can user a regular http referrer because technically the referrer will always be the signin in page because they go to `/signin`, then submit the sign in form. So at the point where the form is submited the referrer is always `/signin`. I want to redirect to where they were before that. Does that make sense?
