PHP - Login Include redirect to initial page

Dear Experts,

I've implemented a login include at the top of each of my pages.
When a user tries to open this pages it will first check whether he has been logged in, using $_SESSION's,
and if not, the user is directed to the login page.

This is working as expected up till here. But what I would like to have is when the user tries to open a page the login include must direct the user to the page he was initially trying to open after the login was successful.

Hope this makes sense..

Kind regards

Improved code regarding the answer above (this is, passing the referrer URL as a GET variable)

// Code for redirecting an non logged in user to login page
 
$loginurl = 'login.php';
header('Location: '. $loginurl . "?from=" . urlencode($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
 
 
// Code for redirecting a logged in user to referrer page
 
header('Location: ' . urldecode($_GET['from']));
