forwarding post data

Jakei · 15-08-2008, 05:09 AM

Is there a way that I can have a redirect page that also sends post data to the new page?

e.g form sends post data to redirect page, redirect page puts it in a file and then forwards it to be use on another page. Using php, no javascript please

why dont you just send them to that page to start off with?

use the URL and $_GET

?

Jakei · 16-08-2008, 12:09 AM

its gonna hold a password, so don't really want to use $_get

Alex · 16-08-2008, 12:47 AM

Code:

<input type="hidden" value="<?php $_POST['hello'; ?>" />

?

if I use that the user will have to click a submit button, or id have to use javascript

Insert it into a database, then query for the data later on.

Karl · 18-08-2008, 02:53 PM

use sessions/cookies

$_SESSION['password'];

then destroy it once youre finished with it

Jakei · 18-08-2008, 05:43 PM

I found another way to do it, thanks all anyway

Karl · 18-08-2008, 06:29 PM

what was your way?

sessions are the easiest surely

Dentafrice · 19-08-2008, 02:36 PM

You could just use cURL to send the post data, because either way you should be verifying it on the other end.

Karl · 19-08-2008, 06:34 PM

why use curl when you can use sessions

hello am i invisible

Werd. Sessions surely must be the solution.

I think you need an avatar to stand out!

Jakei · 19-08-2008, 10:23 PM

I decided to just encrypt the postdata it then send it on its way using GET

Karl · 20-08-2008, 06:22 PM

yup sessions would be safer.

It depends on if he is forwarding it to another server, or something on the same server, if it is on the same server (I don't think he specified) then yes, storing the data in a session is the best way to go.

If you are submitting data to another site, such as PayPal, MySpace, etc, you would need to use cURL to simulate the post request.
