One of these days I'm going to lock myself in a cabin out in the woods
somewhere with a printout of all of the important RFCs and specs like
CSS and XML1.0 and HTTP1.1 etc, and not let myself out until I've
absorbed it. Until then, thank you for letting me know that this was in
fact legal.

I hadn't, but I just did. It printed out the word "Array", followed by
two index/value pairs within parens. The first pair was the name and
value of a cookie I am using in this site, the second was the name and
value of the cookie used by the session ID. It did not print out the
GET name/value pair from the querystring, which means that while the
header() function works for redirecting the browser to a new page, it
does not recognize the querystring.
After some debugging, I found out that I had made a mistake all along.
A previous include file was sending me to the very same page that I was
currently trying to have header() send me to, only with no querystring,
and I was thinking this was the effect of the querystringed header()
even though in reality it was the former. So my bad. Thanks to all who
tried to help me debug this situation.

It definitely cleared up quite a bit about how function arguments are
interpreted. Thank you.
