The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Redirect after successful login to referring page

Asked by lunchboxbill in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: redirect, page, login, referring, after

Hi,

Some of my pages are restricted to members only, so if the user is not logged in they are redirected to the login page. Once login has been successfull I want them to go to the page they were intially searching for.

Example for advanced search page (1 of 3 pages like this):

// Beginning of script

 if (no session)
 {
 go to login page
 $variable = search
 exit()
 }



// Login script

  if (user login ok)
 {
    if ($variable = search)
    {
      include('search.php');
      exit();
    }

    if ($variable = account)
    {
      include('account.php');
      exit();
    }
 }

This always picks up the first if statement, in this case it always takes me to the search page, no matter what the variable value is.

I have also tried it with the reffering page url (a $_SERVER variable) instead of the $variable but with the same effect.

Any ideas??

If i dont fix it the user will just have to be redirected to the home page and they will have to start again - but this time logged in.

Usability is a key factor in my site and ideally i want the experience to be a s simple as poss for the user.

Many thanks.
