Aren't session variable preserved using "Header('Locati on: xxx')"?

I am trying to pass some info to another page on my site. I set
"session_start( )" in page 1, assign a session variable to a value, then
execute a "header('Locati on: ....')." But on the target page I don't get
any session variable values! BTW, I used a relative location in the
Location header, not an absolute URL. The behavior looks like it started
another session, but it should not have.

Ideas?

TIA,

Larry Woods

Yes, they are.
It would be even better if the comments were posted right below what
they comment on, like I'm doing here.
Individual replies are still clearly seperated in the post,
so it's not as if you're hunting for hours for the real text.

The thing is, I'm just here to help people. I don't give a rat's ass if
people top post, bottom post, sideways post or inside-out post. It's
helping people that matters. Being a usenet nazi isn't helping (not that
I'm accusing you or anyone of that, you understand ;))

The worst of it all is when people post without enough of previous posts
for context (like in google). I will move the link in my signature to
the top and hope people read *and follow* its guidelines.

Imagine you see a post "out of the blue" like this:
--------
And now the page is completely blank. Why?
--------
Being a usenet nazi isn't helping (not that I'm accusing you or anyone
of that, you understand ;))


It's the people that need help who should try to help the helpers.
If, as a helper, I need to spend 30 seconds to interpret the question
instead of 2, I may (and did a few times before) ignore further
questions from the person.

It's not a big deal to most people, that's all I'm saying.

I'd like to serve an image-not-found image for images... that aren't found.. I'm already using a custom 404 handler page.. but this question could apply to images retrieved from a database or script or whatever... Anyhow, is the 1st method OK, or should #2 be used? ie, does the client/bot or whatever recognize the 404 on method 1? Or, does it think everything is dandy because of the redirect. header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
