The form variables will not automatically be passed along just on the basis
of a  Location redirect.  You have to hang onto them by either: (i) writing
them to a file from which they will be read after the redirect, or (ii)
using hidden fields in the second page and delivering it by parsing it as
an HTML template (not as hard as it sounds several public scripts have
parsing routines that one can copy & modifiy). Without knowing exactly what
you want to do and kinds of pages & data involved, it's hard to say which
strategy would work best for you
