How can I get the path of the previous url?

I was wondering how can I get the path of the previous url?

May someone enlighten me.

Solution

  • If you want to return the last response (the previous page where you have been) just do this:

    return $this->redirect($request->headers->get('referer'));

    If you want to get just the path do this:

    $request->headers->get('referer');

    If you have been e.g. in

    www.example.com/a and the you go to www.example.com/a/b

    If you call the referer from "B" it will be: www.example.com/a
