Posting form data from php

[Anon]

Here's what I'm trying to do: A form in a page posts its data to a php script which, according to the data received, will redirect the user's browser to one or another URL (so far, so easy). The thing is, I have to emulate a form POST in this redirectioning, sending data to the page. I could do as sugested by FAB in:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/read.php3?num=2&id=107952&thread=107946

and send the input via parameters in the URL, but one of the fields is a password, and it would'nt be nice to have it written on the address bar of the user's browser.

Could anyone help me, please?

well, yer POST-ed data is alwasy passed in the global associative array $HTTP_POST_VARS (provided track_vars is on... but it should be) you can get them with

while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
echo "$key = $value<br>";
}

so, by deduction (induction?) you should be able to use putenv() to set up said array. viz:

putenv("HTTP_POST_VARS[\"FOO\"]=$bar");

you may need to set the request method, though, with

putenve("REQUEST_METHOD=POST");

of course this is pure conjecture on my part. if i'm talking through my hat, please advise me!
