Er, yes. But wouldn't you actually need:

 item.php?=some_get_string_variable_name='.$itemID

(i.e. a variable name _and_ an equals sign, if you're ever going to retrieve the value from the $_GET array)?

In fact, to avoid needless concatenation, you could do:

header("Location: item.php?=some_get_string_variable_name=$itemID");

Uh, Dan, isn't that an unnecessary equals sign?

Shouldn't this:
header("Location: item.php?=some_get_string_variable_name=$itemID");

Be this:
header("Location: item.php?some_get_string_variable_name=$itemID");

Or am I missing something (again)?

Yes, it was unecessary. I don't know where it came from. What I was trying to say, was exactly that second version you posted up. I was trying to say that you need something to assign to, if you're to retrieve the value again from $_GET. Too many equals signs spoil the querystring, however :P.

Hi all,
   I have a small problem on this topic. I'm opening a welcome.php page and it invokes a page called login.php . Once i give the username and password, it has to be reverted back to the welcome.php page. In the login.php, it checks the username and password validation and once it is submitted it has to call the welcome.php page. The code is given here.
<?php
Header("Cache-control: private") ;
Header("Location: ./welcome.php") ;
?>
But unfortunately, It doesn't load the welcome.php page. could someone please advice me as to how to solve this problem.
