Automatically send POST

[chads2k2]

Hey I was wondering if PHP can just automatically send a page through post without the user even touching SUBMIT. I am trying to send some "hidden" variables and am extremely affraid of people changing the values with an editor and then it will really mess me up. So is there some way to post it to itself... add the hidden fields.... and then POST to another server?

If so.. How?

If not.. then how about building that in eh?

I answered myself but its all good.

Thanks Ntwrkgur!

<form method="POST" action="gohere.php" name="form">
<script>
document.form.submit();
</script>
</form>

That will make it be sent. So I can have the original form go to itself and then have that form insert the hidden variables and then send it out.

That would work, as long as they have javascript turned on. There is always a way to mess up form input in the client side. Client side validation of any type is only good for taking a little load off the server, and can never be depended on. Validate the hell out of it on the server side, the only way to be safe.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but it can possibly be accomplished better using PHP to gather the variables and deal with them instead of passing them to the form.
