How to repost vars, using POST method? :D

Dragnovich

Hello, Im having a little dilema I can't resolve by my self, here is the problem.

I got a form in some server (they are 5 severs), those forms call my PHP program (in a master server), that process that form data, and then redirects you to an other page. This was the easy part.

Actually the program redirects you to an other page, when the progran finish the form procesing, using:

header("Location: newpage.php"); exit;

Now I had requested to resend ALL the received $POST data to the other page "newpage.php". But sending the data as if was posted by a form, so in the "newpage.php" file I can get it using $POST too.

How can I do that! ? But whit this restrictions...
1) Can't be using an include (because the files are not in the same server, in most of the cases)
2) MUST sent via POST (Can't be sent using URL, like; newpage.php?var1=val&var2=val...... because then I cant read then usign $_POST, and IT WILL BE DISPLAYED at the browser bar, for security that is unaceptable!!! )

The problem here, is that I need to send the data and jump to the other page at the same time. I think it maybe be done, using headers.... but Im not sure about it and then how to send the data and make the JUMP at the same time.

I'm not sure how to do this in php, if someone knows please post it, i'm curious to see how its done. However, I do know you can use javascript to accomplish this task. We've done this a few time here, just using php to print out the javascript code, its as simple as formName.submit() then it submits to the action in your <form> tag. HTH!

Yes it is confussed for me too , but I can't (well, well, don't want 😃 ) to use javascript, because I want to avoid (a blank page that has a self sobmit routine)....

The problem is LIKE MAKING A FAKE FORM SUBMITER, that send a page all the data and trick the server/browser, to make it think it was a form that sent the data ...

I try using fopen and send some headers, but this method DOWNLOADS the page to the master program and not SEND the vars and redirect the user 😃

Sounds like a job for sessions. ALthough I've never used them with the .php files on a separate server. If there are issues with this, maybe someone here can point them out.
