Linking through php header redirect

I was wondering if the PR transfers through the links that are not pointing directly to the website, but use the php header redirect (header("Location: url") ).

Technically the link is pointing inside the website, so how is that treated by Google?

I use for example include('top.inc');
I had asked this question a long time and found an article that stated using these type of techniques to pull data to your page will not effect what the search engine sees. How true this is I don't know, I still use includes all the time and don't have an issue with being seen by the search engines. Hope this give you a little insight

What type of header status it generates? PR transfers is only possible if a certain URL is 301 redirected to its new location.

I'm thinking about situation:
on website domain1.com there is a file link.php
the main page of domain1.com has a regular HTML link to this file
however link.php instead of displaying content redirects the browser to domain2.com .

Emerson, you're saying that the PR would be transferred to the domain2.com only if the redirect was a 301 type?

Yes, Google will transfer Page rank only if it is permanently redirected to another URL. Make sure it give a 301 status.
