I have a search + list page at www.gardenloco.com/res/index.php. When a user clicks on a garden Resource they go to a Detail page.
On this Detail page I have a link that returns to the search page. So users don't lose their previous search options, I set this link to $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].
The Detail page also displays an "Edit" link (only to Admin users though), which takes them to an Edit page. I'm trying to pass a return link to the edit page, so that I can set a "Return to Search" link correctly.
In the Edit link on the Detail page, I added an extra URL parameter, RL=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].
My problem is that this return link may contain several URL parameters itself, eg:
http://www.gardenloco.com/res/index.php?ListOrder=Sorte...ame&ListDir=ASC
Thus, when I do CCGetParam("RL","") in the Edit page, I get only part of the "return link", eg:
http://www.gardenloco.com/res/index.php?ListOrder=Sorter_entity_name
As you can see, the "&ListDir=ASC" part is left off as it appears to be another URL parameter, rather than part of the parameter "RL".
Does anyone know of a method to sort of "encapsulate" the RL parameter so that I can get the full return link pls?

not sure how to do it your way but a javascript link goes like this:
<a href="javascript: history.go(-1)">Back To Search results</a>
or button like this:
<form><input type="button" value=" Back To Search Results" onclick="history.go(-1);return false;" /></form> [/code
you can go back 2 pages by changing to -2 etc....

Simplest way I can think of is to add a URL parameter to your grid link
of 'ret_link'.
Under Parameters for the link, add:
ret_link
with a value of "YourPage.php" (make certain to put it in quotes,
otherwise it'll chop off at the dot)
On the second detail page, set your return link to
CCGetParam("ret_link"), making certain to remove the ret_link parameter
under Parameters to Remove.

@damian, thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of history.go(-2), but I prefer a specified URL, in case someone gets to the Detail page from Google, or a link on a different site etc.
@datadoit, thanks, but unfortunately that won't work, because the return URL may have ampersands in it, so CCGetParam can't recognise the full ret_link.
At the moment, I use a Label in the return URL on the Detail page, which I set to $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] if it came from the Search page, otherwise I assume it came from an external link, so I set it to the Search page without any parameters. That works really well.
It's probably a bit unusual to try to get directly back to the Search (with it's parameters) from a "second hop", the Edit page. I'm doing that as a convenience to Administrators.

There's no need to use HTTP_REFERER. This is the exact same in
CodeCharge speak:
global $FileName;
$http_referer = $FileName . "?" . CCGetQueryString("QueryString","");
I think your problem is occurring by trying to shove everything you need
in the -sending- link, as opposed to retrieving everything you need in
the -receiving- page. When you get to your Edit page, capture that
ret_link along with the query string so that you can build your return
link accordingly.
$qs = CCGetQueryString("QueryString","");
$qs = CCRemoveParam($qs, "ret_link");
$Component->SetLink(CCGetParam("ret_link","")."?".$qs);

i didnt quite understand datadoit's post (not his fault!) but i do grab the variables to show/hide panels in other pages....
you know what all your variable options are so grab them with
CCGetParam(name, value)
