I think what Edward means is that you can't pass parameters to an included file, like include("some.inc?var=value"); That's true, at least for local files. include("http://remotesite/some.php?var=value") will work, as long as remotesite has php installed, of course.

yes, a very clean way to do it (that I've used successfully) is something like: $current_page = "User Login"; if ($badlogin) { header("Location: http://domain.com/~eprice/badlogin.php?errormsg=" . $current_page); } This cleanly separates the string from the variable, but they are concatenated before being passed as an argument to the header() function. This passes the name of the script as a querystring variable called $_GET['errormsg'], so that the receiving script can take some action based on where the user was sent from.
