    The certain webpage I have has a username that is passed from a form on a different page. All I simply want to do is pass the same variable along to the next page when I call: header( 'Location: admin.php' ) ;

    Is there a better way of going to a next page or is there an easy way to pass a variable along with this call?

    3 ways you can get them in the new location

    1. Passing with the URLs
    2. Setting the session
    3. Setting the cookie
