Hide URL string

Hi.

How do I hide the string in the URL? I don't want it to say things like password=racecar

thanks

Use the post method to submit your forms, not the get method. So, instead of

<form name="blah" action="foo.php" method="get">

use

<form name="blah" action="foo.php" method="post">

You'll need to use $POST or $HTTP_POST_VARS instead of $GET or $HTTP_GET_VARS, but it will show only "foo.php" in the URI-string.

Thanks for the reply.

I can't figure out how to use $HTTP_POST_VARS

can someone please help?

Thanks

Or quick and dirty:"
Use a frameset around your page, with the top frame being 0px heigh, the other 100px high, which holds your actual pages.. Gives the user the same result.
