conditional page loading PART2

Hello, Thank you for the input. If you don't mind I'd like to ask you some things a little more in-depth concerning header(). I've moved from the login decision as mentioned in my original message. I now have another condition where I must decide which page to load and what variables to pass via urlencoding depending on the decision made. Can I urlencode variables that I'd like to pass along within the header() function? If so, what would be the syntax? If not, do you know how I could do that? Example: I have narrowed what a customer is looking for to one record from a database. I now want to validate the input the customer is sending me. If the input is invalid, I'd like the customer to be able to return to the order page with all the info from the database intact, thus, passing php variables back to the order page after the input validation process. The user inputs into an html form that is posting using a "validate.php" script. Therefore, as far I my understanding goes, the best way to keep the info from the database is to pass via urlencoding. Do you know how to do this with the header() function? I imagine that you use the urlencode() function in conjunction with it. Thank you very much for your time!
