title: How to achieve a simple re-direct to a GET request?
body: <p>I have a page that does a re-direct as such, following the guidelines from this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/768431/how-to-make-a-redirect-in-php">SO Post.</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>header("Location: http://www.fivefoo.com?uid=johnny");
  die();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This small php file is located here in <code>index.php</code> of course.</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://www.fivefoo.com/johnny
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I did was just add on a query to the re-direct</p>
  
  <pre><code>?uid=johnny.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>First and main question.  Am I allowed to to do this?  </p>
  
  <p>Secondly, where do I retrieve the query values.  My guess, would be the $_GET global.</p>
