syntax error using header and SID

Hi all

Can someone tell me what the correct syntax is to pass
a Session ID via the header redirect is? Im trying:

header( "Location: page2.php?<?echo strip_tags
(SID)?>" )
but it isnt working for me and all the docs i can find
just deal with tagging it to the end of a hyperlink.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

header("Location: page2.php?" . SID);

You should use a complete URL, btw, including http:// and the domain name.

You are making a row of mistakes that suggest it is a good idea to read a
bit on PHP syntax and how variables are passed over pages.

For instance, you are calling a php function such as header(), you are
already inside php tags (<?PHP and ?>), or at least you SHOULD be.
Then, you work with SID, is that a CONSTANT ?

A good place to start is the first chapters of the online php manual on
uk.php.net/manual/en and a tutorial on sessions on
http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/41/0.php

header( "Location: page2.php?". strip_tags( SID ) );

the problem you are having is that you are already inside php tags when
you are using the header function and don't need to make new php tags to
use the echo statement. and for that matter, you don't need to use the
echo statement at all. just append the SID to the end of the location.
