Symfony 1.4 - Pass URL in get request

Question

I want to redirect the previous page after the login. My first question is what is the best solution for it?

I try following solution. send previous page url in get request and redirect to the url that in get request.

This is my previous page action.

public function executeVotes(sfWebRequest $request)
{
        $chaletId = (int) $request->getParameter('id');
        $this->rates = (int) $request->getParameter('rates', 0);

        if (
            ($this->getUser()->isAuthenticated() === FALSE )
            || ($this->getUser()->hasCredential('member_permission') === FALSE)
        ) {
            $this->redirect('member_signin', array(
                'redirect' => $this->getController()->genUrl('chalet_votes/' . $chaletId . '/?rates=' . $this->rates, true)
            ));
        }
}

This is my signin action

public function executeSignin(sfWebRequest $request)
{
        $this->redirectUrl = $this->getRequest()->getParameter('redirect');

        echo $this->redirectUrl; die;
}

This is routers for these actions.

member_signin:
  url: /member/login/*
  param: { module: member, action: signin}

votes:
  url: /chalet/votes/:id
  param: { module: test, action: votes }

This is url after redirect to the signin page.

http://test.dev/member/login/redirect/http%3A%2F%2Fchalet.dev%2Fchalet_votes%2F1%2Frates%2F9

My server show 404 page error. What is the issue? How can i do it?

Instead of redirecting the non-authenticated user to the member_signin. Try forwarding them:

$this->forward('member_signin');

Because you're not redirecting, when you post the sign-in form, you will have the referrer URL available in the $request->getReferer() method.

So what you'll need to do in your signin action:

public function executeSignin(sfWebRequest $request)
{
    $user = $this->getUser();

    // If the user has been authenticated, helps prevent redirect loop as well.
    if ($user->isAuthenticated()) {
        $this->redirect('@defaultpage');
    }

    // Do authentication
    //...

    // If authenticated
    $this->redirect($request->getReferer());
}
