Passing post data by header

alirezaok

i have a php page. it must redirected to error page and sending data to it via post method.

I use the following code to redirect the browser on an error,
header("location:error.php");
exit;

Is it possible to pass POST variables on as if a form was submitted, using
header()? (becuase i dont want users can see my post data variables)

variables:
i=1
b=2

thanks

I had to do this once and found that header did not work for POST data. It was not pretty, but my solution was to do my re-direct client-side via JavaScript. I just called a page that processed the info that I needed, automatically ran a JS function that Submit() a Form.

I'd love to hear if there was a better way, but header never worked for me.

when i call javascript the users can see posted data ... 🙁

Could you use session data, then have the page you redirect to look for the data in the $SESSION array instead of in $POST?

no. in fact error.php is in other site that can accept only data via post method. and i have not access to changing this error page on other site:

my script is:
header("location:http://www.exmpale.com/error.php");
exit;

What exactly did you try?

it is possible with curl maybe? curl can redirect? (because it can ability to send data via post method)

laserlight, i want my php page redirect to another page on other site and sending some data via post method to it page without viewing data by viewer (client) users.

i can use this script but cient user can view data sending:

header("location:http://www.exmpale.com/error.php?i=1&b=2");
exit;

also error.php can get data only via post mthod.

i knowed status code 307 can send data via post method

header("HTTP/1.0 307 Temporary Redirect");
header("location:http://www.exmpale.com/error.php");

but how i can send data and adding variables to this script?

Did you ever get this resolved, I am having the same problem.

Using only HTTP headers, you can't redirect a user and force the user's browser to POST data to the redirected location.

If you want to do so, then you'll have to send the user a form and use Javascript to automatically submit it or something of that nature.
