The 'list_product.php' may be *any* valid url string.
That includes:
URLs that are not absolute.
Different urls based upon code.
URLS that include get operators.
URLS that are mod_mapped.


My question is much simpler (and I understand how a http server works),
maybe I didn't explain myself very well:

If I used redirect(X) I would have to store X in $_POST or $_SESSION
arrays so that add_product.php can get that X. That's something I can't
do as an action performed when the user clicks on a link. So how can I
do that?


You can't just store it in the $_POST variable; a new page will wipe out any values here. But storing them in $_SESSION works fine (as long as you don't change domains).
