POST w/o FORM

[Anon]

Hi,

is it possible to create a POST request without using a <FORM>, i.e. with 'Header("Location anything.php");' + anything else?

I want the variables not to be seen by anyone in the URL. So I'd like to pass them with the POST method. But on the other hand I do not want the user having to press a button or click on a link. That's why I need to use 'Header Location'.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance for any help

Though it's kind of a hack, here's a solution which may work for you.

If you are not worried about your users stopping it and viewing source on the page, just have the script spit out a form as normal with all of the data that needs to be submitted. After the form is spit out also have it spit out:
<script language='JavaScipt'>
document.formname.submit();
</script>

Thanks, this may work. I didn't think of using JavaScript...

This is possible from PHP. See my response to the "Form post to several locations" thread.
