If the data is not sensitive, you can simply use the header() function 
to redirect to the appropriate page passing the variables as 
parameters in the URI.

i.e.
header('Location: http://site.com/somepage.php?foo=$foo&bar=$bar");

Otherwise, if you need to hide the parameters, or do not want the page 
to be bookmarked you can set the parameters in the session before 
redirecting and omit them from the URI.

see:
http://php.net/header
for more info.

Hope that helps,
Carl.
