Passing variables from page to page HIDD

Anon

Without using forms...(ie. www.doman.com?variable=value)
is there a way I can HIDE the values after the ?

I have set up with PHP/MySQL a way the content between a header and a footer can be selected via a $url variable passed on (ie. www.domain.com?url=resume). I would like that infomation to be passed, but not appear in the address bar. This is so no matter what page you access, the index.php page is always the location (ie. www.domain.com/)rather than (www.domain.com/?url=value).

I heard that ASP uses a session variable, and I suppose PHP would have something similar. I looked up the session variable in PHP, but it doesn't quite look like what I'm trying to do.

my email is brian@brianmckenna.com. Thanks in advance for any help.

If you're moving from one page to another on the same site, session variables are exactly what you want. If you're moving from one site to another, you should look int a PHP function called postit(). I think it's posted on this site in the code library. What it does is emulate a POST directive so that passed variables are hidden.

There are two ways of sending parameters, POST and GET. You say you don't want to use GET because it appears in the URL, and you don't want to use POST because you don't want to use forms.

That leaves you with just one option:
a hidden frameset.
Make your main page a frameset with just one frame. That way your site appears as it would normally, but the address bar always displays the URL of the frameset, not the URL or the frame (which must contain parameters)

A forum, a FAQ, what else do you need?
