title: PHP Header Redirect with parameter
body: <p>So I want to use a basic header redirect to bring a variable from one page to another. This seems really basic, but everywhere I look people are asking about more complex situations and it makes it harder to grasp. Basically, I have a variable $user = "root" and I simply want to pass this to another page using <code>Header("Location: query.php".$user);</code> </p>
  
  <p>First of all, I want to make sure that this redirect will send my variable correctly. </p>
  
  <p>Second, how exactly will I retrieve it on the other side. Generally if I were using a submit button posting to a form, I would use something as this <code>$user = ($_POST["user"]);</code>. Would I retrieve the parameter in a similar fashion in this case?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help!</p>
