Passing parameter in URL along with previous parameter

I have searching functionality working with GET, like if I search for 'Apple', it will redirect to this particular URL: /search.php?search=Apple. Now if I add this product in cart, it will go to addtocart.php file & should redirect to the current page. In addtocart.php file I've code like this, if everything goes fine, it should go to this URL: $page?message=Product has been added to your cart. Now the issue is as two '?' comes in URL, it doesn't display message on the first place & doesn't display the page with search results. For finding the current page URL, I've this code.

$page = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$page=(stristr($page,"/"));
$_SESSION['page'] = $page;

In addtocart.php file, I get the value of $page redirect to the same page after adding the product in cart. So I've this code for redirecting:

header ("Location: $page?message=Product added to your cart");

So ultimately URL that it redirects to looks like: search.php?search=apple?message=Product added to your cart. And it doesn't actually pass the parameter & hence no searching can be done. Anything that I missed and you can help with?

$delimiter = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY) ? '&' : '?';
header("Location: {$page}{$delimiter}message=$message");

Also, you can use strrpos($url, '?') !== false instead of parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY) === ''.

When passing a second parameter you need to use & instead of the second ?.

The header path would then be:

 header ("Location: $page&message=Product added to your cart");

If you might have some paths that don't include an initial value you can check for the presence of the the ? and then alter the appending character.

E.g.

<?php if(preg_match('/\?/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) { $page .= '&'; }
      else{ $page .= '?'; }
    $page .= "message=Product added to your cart";
   header ("Location: $page");
?>
