How to add header location properly with something more?

<?php session_start(); 
ob_start(); 
include("config.php");
$user=$_POST['fname'];
$pass=$_POST['password'];

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_detail WHERE password='$pass' AND email='$user'") or   die("Couldn't query the user-database.");

$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);

if(!$result)
{
die(mysql_error());
}
 $count=mysql_num_rows($result);

if($count==1) 
{   
$_SESSION['login_user']=$user;
header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); 
}
else if($pass=="" || $user=="") 
{
header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); 
}
else
{
header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); 

}


?>

Here if any user is not giving username or password, it's redirecting to the previous page according to the code..

But i want to add something in the header location like this

header('location:index.php?msg=incorect1');

How can i add this in the code

header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."?msg=incorect1");

note: this only works if the referring page is not using the GET already.

Alternatively, you can set a $_SESSION variable which is read by the page. This does however require you to use sessions throughout the site, wherever you offer the login option.

Set session for messages.either success or errors like this :

$_SESSION['msg'] = "Sorry some error";
or
$_SESSION['msg'] = "Successfully saved";

Then use redirect like you did.

header('Location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

And on the previous page just echo $_SESSION['msg'];
