Posting variable after a header refresh

[JREAM]

Is there a way to do this..

 

1. You save a page through a form.

2. The form does a header location..

3. You post a variable to the refreshed page to give the status.

 

would it be something like this:

header('location: xyz.php?status=good');

 

then at the top of the page,

if ($status == 'good'){ echo 'good';}

variables passed through the query string can be retrieved with $_GET['variablename']
