Hiding variables in an URL

Anon

I don't know if the title is really correct but this is what i want to do :

printf("<a href=\"%s?cmd=fp\">URL</a><br>", $PHP_SELF, $var1, $var2);

When i click on this URL it automatically reloads the php script and starts executing the part with in the if ($cmd == 'fp') statement.

However i also want to 'load' var1 and var2.

I can use

printf("<a href=\"%s?cmd=fp&var1=%s&var2=%s\">URL</a><br>", $PHP_SELF, $var1, $var2);

and it works perfectly, but i like to keep var1 and var2 hidden. Otherwise if i use the URL i see:

http://www.site.com/script.php3?cmd=fp&var1=STRING1&var2=STRING2

it is possible to hide the var1 and var2 values?

I suppose the best way to do it would be to make the link in to a post deal. To do that you would have to make it a form, and have the form post as a form.

Example:

That oughta do it. Pretty complicated for such a thing eh? Ya but it protects your information entirely. No variables sent for the user to change or edit...sweetness!

I have done this also using a hidden frame.

This way your main scripts will always load within a frameset, thus never showing the user the url other than that of the main page.

If i use the frames you won't see the vars in the address bar but you still can see them on the bottom of the browser screen.

I have to use both the javascript and the frames....
