Get second last url in Magento 1.9

Question

How can we get the second last url in Magento 1.9?

I currently use this: <?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getLastUrl();?> To get the last URL.

But I want to get the second last URL after adding a product to the cart. Because the code above give in that case the url to add the product to the cart.

How can I get the url before that, so the second last?

Answer 1

You can use

Mage::app()->getResponse()->setRedirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

to get the second last URL or Referrer URL. Or if you need it as a string

Mage::app()->getResponse()->setRedirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])->getHeaders()[2]['value'];

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] would output the url or you may use

$previousurl = Mage::helper('core/http')->getHttpReferer() ? Mage::helper('core/http')->getHttpReferer()  : Mage::getUrl();
