Are there best practices for tracking the previous page visited by a user in PHP without using sessions or cookies?
To track the previous page visited by a user in PHP without using sessions or cookies, you can pass the previous page URL as a query parameter in the current page URL. This way, each page will have a reference to the previous page visited.
// Get the previous page URL from the query parameter
$previousPage = isset($_GET['prev_page']) ? $_GET['prev_page'] : 'N/A';
// Set the current page URL as the previous page URL for the next page
$currentURL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$nextPageURL = $currentURL . '?prev_page=' . urlencode($currentURL);
// Output the previous page URL
echo 'Previous Page: ' . $previousPage;
