You could store the last page they came from using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
or you could include some code to keep a FIFO buffer of the last pages
visted(asusming you only want to return to pages on your own site).


So something like

array_push($LastPages, __Current_Page__);

and then you can access the previous pages.

Theres probably better ways though....
