Use double quotes instead of single and try it.

As in, use the double quptes inside the header function:

<?php

$search = 'random';
$location = 'mysite.com/myfile.php?search='.$search; // mysite.com/myfile.php?search=random
header("Location: $location");
?>

 

Strings inside single quotes are treated as literals: you are litterally trying to send the browser to $location - not the value of $location.
