taith Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 just wondering if its possible (and how) to create a $_POST variable, then header('Location: elsewhere.php'); and have the variable accessable on the next page...?

ratcateme Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 you might want to try $_SESSION that way when you redirect the var is not hidden as POST or exposed as GET it is stored on the server. Scott.

taith Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 unfortunatly thats not possible... 1) the redirecting to page is of a different domain(no $_SESSION) 2) $_GET is too unsecure and not supported by the site i'm directing too... 3) i'm directing via header('Location: '); so i cant use <input hidden> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113266-reposting-_post-variables-after-a-header-redirect/#findComment-581944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbradley Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 then u would be using the location:page.php?info=yada what u might try is passing them to another page that actually takes info and sends them to another page with the sessions to keep it hiden?

taith Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 then u would be using the location:page.php?info=yada i cannot use $_GET... the remote page does not allow $_GET... only $_POST what u might try is passing them to another page that actually takes info and sends them to another page with the sessions to keep it hiden? the page i'd be sending to would be remote, therefore cannot access the session info...

papaface Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You can do this kind of thing using cURL. <?php $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com"); curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); ?> Will post the form vars to google.com Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113266-reposting-_post-variables-after-a-header-redirect/#findComment-581963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 @papaface: That's great, but that won't help him redirect someone to a page with some variable carrying over. @taith: They designed sessions and cookies to try to be "secure", so they can only be accessed from the domain that set them.

taith Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 ya... curl is for incoming data, not for forcing outgoing data... and yes i know... sessions/cookies wont work... i need a sort of "header("POSTVariable:var='content'");" but it doesnt seem to be created yet :'( Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113266-reposting-_post-variables-after-a-header-redirect/#findComment-581972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Do you know how HTTP headers work? For example, when accessing the main PHPFreaks.com page, these are all the headers: http://www.phpfreaks.com/ GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.phpfreaks.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: Let's not show my session ID and stuff, thanks. HTTP/1.x 200 OK Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:06:43 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.8 (EL) Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache Set-Cookie: phpfreaks_session=mYsEsSiOnIdLololol; expires=Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:06:43 GMT; path=/ Content-Language: en-US Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 The first block is what the browser sends to the server, and the second block is the response. When a Location header is sent, the browser interprets that as a redirect, which is why not every page has a Location header. There's no real way to tell the browser about POST data...the browser has to SEND POST data, not recieve it.

taith Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 true... but the data is sent to the first server, then the redirect to the new page... and the post data is not available on the new page... meaning the content does go to the first server... i was just hoping there'd be a way of forcing php to mimic a http request (sending the POST data) from the client side...
