As 01101101entor said

 header('location: miniprofile.php?name='.$_SESSION[username]);

but put as:

 header('location: miniprofile.php?name=$_SESSION[username]');

You'll find my bit of code was correct, though i can see what your attempting to do.
Your problem here is PHP treat's single quotes ' and double quotes differently, and unluckily you appear to have chosen the wrong one.

If php sees a string with double quotes, php will check to see if any varibles are inside, Which i believe is what you were trying to do, so:

header("location: miniprofile.php?name=$_SESSION[username]");

Would indeed work.

Unluckily if php comes across a single quote, this tells php there isnt going to be any variables inside, saving it some processing time, but also resulting in it not searching the string for variables.
Meaning your attempt

header('location: miniprofile.php?name=$_SESSION[username]');

Would be unsuccessful.


"" = will parse variables
'' = faster but wont parse variables

How did you manage to get it working in the end then?
