Technically, the location you pass should be an absolute URL; try replacing
your code with something more like
header('Location: http://www.example.com/page2.php?name=' . $name);
That may or may not make your page work; I'm not sure.
(By the way, the statement $name='valid' in your if statement probably
doesn't do what you want it to do: it assigns the value 'valid' to $name,
instead of checking to see whether the two are equivalent. If that's an
actual excerpt from your code, change it to $name == 'valid' in order to
avoid unexpected behavior.)
