Hi,

So for each page, you want to be able to see which category they were previously in?

You could try adding some variables to your links like this:

<a href="article-list.php?category_num=3&category_past=<?php echo *CURRENT CATEGORY NAME*?>"
">Category 3</a>


This way, each link will have the category name of the previous page stored in $_REQUEST['category_past']. You just need to replace *CURRENT CATEGORY NAME* with the variable that is storing the current name.

Hope this helps.

I haven't any idea what to do with this. When I put this code into menu I have error. Could you explain this in the example? Whre is a code to show category?

I need the name of the category where the article is assigned and that is linking the name of the place from which I clicked on this article. A simple mechanism to return to the place from which I came.

In other words:

When I clicked to article "Sunyday" on 5th list-page category3 I would have oportunity to back to 5th list-page category3.
