POST Variables and redirect

[[deleted]]

Hi all,

I have a form that users can access without being logged in. If they submit the form, I want to show a login page, then if the login is succesful, redirect to the original address that was wanted.

Example:

<form name="test" action="fred.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="var" value="testvar">
</form>

Then the fred.php script:

if (!$logged in) {
show login form and call login.php.
}
print $var;

The login page script:

if (uservalidated()) header(location:fred.php");

So basically, when I call fred.php from the login page, I lost the HTTP_POST_VARS.

How can I transport the variables through this entire process? I want to avoid having to get the values from the original $HTTP_POST_VARS and passing them as a URL.

I think I need to do a manual POST again back to fred.php, but I don't know how to do that!

Help appreciated, thanks!

Use hidden field forms:

<input type="hidden" value="<?= $PHPvar ?>">

So there is no other way for me than to reconstruct a form from what i receive in $HTTP_POST_VARS then resubmit it?

How do I simulate a form from php?

Use hidden fields:

<form>
<input type="hidden" name"var1" value="<?= $var1 ?>"/ >
<input type="hidden" name"var2" value="<?= $var2 ?>"/ >
<input type="hidden" name"var3" value="<?= $var3 ?>"/ >
</form>
