Usage

Create an URL that contains all the GET parameter of the current page:

echo CHtml::link('A link',
    $this->createReturnableUrl('user/edit',array('id'=>124))
);

If you perform an action on the page user/edit you can use this code to return to the originating page:

$this->goBack()

or create a link to the originating page in the view with:

echo CHtml::link('Cancel',$this->getReturnUrl())
