Back again,
I guess I know where the problem is. I found out that session
variables are somewhat lost when I use the "header" function as in:

header('Location: http://example.com/test/testvariables.php);

User is correctly taken to the personalised page using the above line,
but then the session variables get lost!

My question now is: once I found out the userid and I know what page
to take him to, what is the best way to re-direct him to that page
without losing session variables?
