Answer 1

Approach 1: In your logout.php file, you need to check if you have a REFERER url from previous page and redirect, if not, redirect to index.php

<?php    
session_start(); 
session_destroy();
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
 header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);  
} else {
 header('Location: index.php');  
}
exit;  
?>

Approach 2: You can pass a reference to your login page to redirect.

Logout link

<?php
function curPageURL() {
 $pageURL = 'http';
 if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
 $pageURL .= "://";
 if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 } else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 }
 return $pageURL;
}
?>

<a href="logout.php?redirect=<?php echo base64_encode(curPageURL()); ?>">Logout</a>

logout.php file:

<?php
session_start(); 
session_destroy();
if(isset($_GET['redirect'])) {
 header('Location: '.base64_decode($_GET['redirect']));  
} else {
 header('Location: index.php');  
}
?>

Answer 2

How about,

header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

In your login.php file:

$BackToMyPage = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if(isset($BackToMyPage)) {
    header('Location: '.$BackToMyPage);
} else {
    header('Location: index.php'); // default page
}

Answer 3

Try adding a parameter in your logout.php so you could dynamically redirect the user to the page he pressed the logout button.

<li class="hover"><a href="logout.php?page=homepage.php">Logout</a>
           Welcome <?php echo $_SESSION['login_user']; ?>
        </li>

then in your logout.php

<?php    
session_start(); 
session_destroy(); 
$page = $_GET['page'];
header('Location:' . $page);  
exit;  
?>

Answer 4

$before = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if(isset($before)) {
     header('Location: '.$before);  
} else {
     header('Location: index.php');  
}
exit;  

Answer 5

You do not need $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']if you want to redirect to the same page or refresh it.
It could simply be done using
header('Location : .');

Answer 6

if(isset($_POST['id']))
{
    header('Location:index.php');  
}
