nope, doesn't work on header re-directs....

i tried:
// where was I?
$iamhere=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (!$not_here=='yes'){
if(! $_REQUEST['article_id']==''){
$_SESSION['where_last']=$iamhere.'?article_id='.$_REQUEST['article_id'];
}
else{
$_SESSION['where_last']=$iamhere;
}
}
else{}

It works up until the not logged in page, but once I log in (another
re-direct) the link:

<a href="<?php echo $_SESSION['where_last'];?>">Click
here to return to the page you were trying to view.</a>

Comes up with: http://www.magic2k.com/errorpages/404.php which is the 404
error page defined in my htaccess file.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
