"include" vs. "header location&quot

[Anon]

I've been using:
<?php
if (isset($submit))
{
include('./nextpage.php');
exit;
}
else
{
//stay on this page
}

And, then, my next page, "nextpage.php," all of my posted variables will be available.

But, then, when I tried
<?php
if (isset($submit))
{
header ( "Location: nextpage.php" );
exit;
}
else
{
//stay on this page
}

none of my posted variables are available.

My question is, should I continue with the my first, "include" code? Or, should I use the "header" code, and modify it.

Which is more "elegant/efficient/correct" ???

thanks

I think submit should be $POST["submit"] if request method is POST, and $GET["submit"] if request method is GET. Check if "register globals" and "track vars" are enabled in your configuration file. If they are not, it explains why you can't get the value of $submit because the variable doesn't exist...
