Should be pretty easy - just try the following:

header("Location: foo.php?varname=varvalue&varname2=varvalue2");

This won't really work if you are passing sensitive information to the
next page because it will be
part of the URL - if you don't mind me asking why do you need to go to a
different page to interpret
and/or manipulate the data? You might want to think about keeping it a
part of the page that is
determining whether the variables are set. I would suggest something
like the following:

if( isset($varname) && isset($varname2) )
{
//your function here


//after function is complete then forward to next page
header("Location: wherever.php");
exit;
}

Just a thought.
