I also read multiple times about users having problems with relative
Location headers, especially when there was a query string appended.
This is just one of them (German): <news:ctab04$vns$1@online.de>.

In short: User has a problem with

header("Location: /index.php?pid=5");

His script didn't receive the parameter (like the OP's script). After
fixing it and using an absolute URI it worked as expected. Too bad he
didn't mention the used server and browser.

But he was not the only one encountering this problem.
