passing Post Method variables

[Anon]

I am trying to send variables via the post method from my form, through my php script to handle where it is supposed to send the data, then send that data to some other web site via the post method. I don't know if this is possible or not.

I know I can send data like this (Get Method):

http://www.somesite.com/somescript.php?variable=somevalue.

But I absolutely have to send the data via the post method.

If there is no way of doing that, is there a way to make a form just automatically submit itself? (Without the user having to press submit).

If so then I could just have my php script just create the form, input the appropriate information then have it submit it to the site via the POST method automatically and the user will never know this has happened.

Thanks.

You could do that with Javascript, just submit the form onloading the page.

If you need help doing that, and don't mind using javascript, let me know.

Thanks, I just thought about doing that myself. It works that just fine that way.

However I am still very interested in finding out if there is a way to pass variables via the POST Method to URL's and not via the GET Method (http://www.somesite.com/asdf.php?somevariable=something) with PHP.

Try this:

<form action="http://www.somesite.com/asdf.php" method="POST">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="somevariable" VALUE="something">

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT">

Good Luck,
