header() and $_POST question

[TempleDMDKrazd]

I know there are two types of HTTP request methods GET and POST. GET is embedded into the URL while POST is embedded into the http request itself. the thing is in my PHP code for me to relocate the user to another page i use the following function:

 

header("Location: somepage.php?status=T");

 

it passes the status variable ($_GET["status"]) by GET to somepage.php. is there a way where I can pass it by POST in my PHP code or is there a function similiar to header that I can pass it by POST?

 

thanks

This is rather complicated, but cURL is your best option.

You could also use fsockopen and fwrite...

i enable sessions and then

 

i write $_POST['status'] = $_SESSION['status']

 

EDIT: dont know about security of that though, lemme know somebody if this is really bad

an interesting approach, unconventional, but not insecure.

i can't use $_SESSION because the person is logging out and I want to pass some variables to the receipt logout page, but I don't want to pass it in the URL.

Ok then, like i said, use a cURL or sockets to form a post request.

not to drag this beast back up but if you are logging out, just unset() the loggedin session variables and write the rest of the post data to a new session variable
