Just ensure you have no space before or after the braces in the included
file. ANY output - even white space - will cause headers to be sent
and, as a result, the header() call to fail.

Also, you should always have the following in your php.ini file on your
development system:

error_reporting=E_ALL (or E_ALL | E_STRICT)
display_errors=on

This would have displayed an error message when the header() call failed
and identifying where the output was initiated.

You can pass them as GET values or in the $_SESSION array. Personally,
I prefer the latter.
