Invisible variables

[phpfreak]

Hi folks,

I have a qestion about posting variables:
Is it possible to send 'invisible' variables in a header?

If I do it this way:

header("Location: index.php?var=the_var");

The client can see this variable, isn't there any way to avoid this???

Thanx a lot!

You are using the GET method, which is allways visible.
Use the POST method instead of the GET.

If you search the forum you will probably find some examples.

Daniel,

You can also use sessions.  In the articles section there are some good tutorials that I learned from.  Sessions allow a variable to be kept on all pages during a persons visit to a site.  If you just want to pass from one page to the other though, using POST is the way to go.

Thats not what i meant.
I always use sessions... but when the client turned of cookies, I've to use a way like my first problem!

Thnx a lot!

You'll want to POST variables, however such a method can be quite trying and difficult.

As soon as I finish my current project over the next week or so, I think I'm going to try my hand at programming a nice class to POST data.

To build your own POST you'll need to use the socket/fsock/fget/fput functions using raw HTTP query text.

Fun, no? lol
