Is there any way to pass messages from a script to a redirect target in a hidden fashion?

Hehe, got it meself, just a little too late, unfortunately, now i have to change half the stuff again…

set_transient(), get_transient() and delete_transient() will be my friends

Edit: More on this…i now realized that my wp_options table is full of _transient_xyz records, coming from WP itself. So that indicates that WP is using the db to store these transients, which isn’t ideal. Haven’t done the research, yet, but i hope WP cleans this up in regular intervals.
