Use url()->previous():

<a href="{{ url()->previous() }}" class="btn btn-default">Back</a>

If you want to return 2 requests back, use this solution.

In Laravel, you can do something like that:

<a href="{{Request::referrer()}}">Back</a> (assuming you're using blade).

{{ URL::previous() }}

You can try this function also,

/**
 * Method to redirect to the previous page
 *
 * Add to one of your helpers
 *
 * USEAGE: redirectPreviousPage();
 */
if ( ! function_exists('redirectPreviousPage'))
{
    function redirectPreviousPage()
    {
        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']))
        {
            header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
        }
        else
        {
            header('Location: http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
        }

        exit;
    }
}

HTML

<a href="{{ redirectPreviousPage() }}" class="btn btn-default">Back</a>

This function you also use it if there are core files in your project.

When using the "history.back" function, the browser used to give you a copy from it's cache instead of reload the page. Best way here is not to use the "history.back" function but use the correct route to get a fresh copy of your page.
