Topic: *SOLVED* header()

[firedrop84]

I just want to ask if I use header in one page does it pass the varilabes to the other page that header is pointing to.

What do you mean by other variables. If it is variables being passed through the url, ie page.php?var=value1&var2=value2 Then you'll need to place in the header redirect itself like so:

Code: [Select]

header("page.php?var=value1&var2=value2");
If you have POST'd data from a form or any other variables then no you will need to either pass these over the URL or use a session to store these on the server and you'll be able to use them on the page that you are redirecting the usert to.

if your are suing session make sure you have session_start on everypage that uses sessions.
