I am trying to redirect certain input parameters from a php page which I have put inside the require clause in index.php to another php page. I am finding it difficult to do as the parameters are not getting redirected whereas the page is getting evoked on form submission.
Please help me

Avishek,

What your trying to do is clearly a <i>gross</i> hacking of eZ publish, not working and clearly should not be supported.

I would urge you to learn from existing code how to create an module extension from existing examples publicly available.

Take a look at the contributions, pubsvn and projects

http://ez.no/community/contribs
http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk
http://projects.ez.no/

Here is a simple example of a module extension. http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/extension/redirect/

But do not continue to persist in pushing this pointless question to the top of the forum list on the homepage any further.

As pointed out above, eZ Publish has it's own set of functionality to redirect pages.
This is something you control from your extension module/view php code.

More on modules and views:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_9/concepts_and_basics/modules_and_views

Urls in eZ Publish:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_9/concepts_and_basics/url_translation

Relevant if this is a content/view page:
One other thing is that since eZ Publish supports nice urls, it has it own set of GET parameters support.
So instead of:
http://somepage.com/me/sparetime?day=friday&type=social
You have:
http://somepage.com/me/sparetime/(day)/friday/(type)/social

There are several advantages to this:
* Google will index the various urls as separate pages (as long as the content differs, Google sense this)
* eZ Publish's view cache handling will handle the cache correctly for you
* template variables for the params will automatically be created for you
for the above two params: {$view_parameters.day} and {$view_parameters.type}

Relevant if this is custom php code:
In ez publish own content modul, action view, there is a lot of examples on redirects and redirect codes:
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/kernel/content/action.php
For a extension example:
http://zev.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezdhtml/trunk/modules/ezdhtml/
module.php is the file defining the modul, and the rest is the vews.
