Re: header("Location:blah...") - passing variables

Set the form receiver to $PHP_SELF. When data is posted (use $HTPP_POST_VARS to check if is) check it for correctness. If everything is ok, use Header("Location: work_for_authorized.php") otherwise show the current (i.e. login page) with $user, $pass available...
