PHP links

[VillageIdiot906]

Is there any way to send information through "POST" method using a standard link, not form submit?

Create a form using all <input type=hidden>. Then use OnClick in the link to execute a javascript function that sumbits the form via POST to the correct address.

Yes, yes. But then people can see all info by right-click>view source.

What are you trying to do exactly? Technically speaking, putting PHP variables in the link itself is the POST method. Look at this URL:
http://myfiles.dyndns.org/picture_fr...ller-small.jpg
You can see what page it points to, and you can see the 1 variable specified.

Then on the page the link points to, have PHP acknowledge what the variable "frame" is.

<?php
$frame = $_GET['frame'];
?>

<img src="<?php echo ($frame); ?>" />

ShawnD1: No, that is the GET method not POST. Your entire post is the GET method.



VillageIdiot906: Exactly what are you trying to hide? Without knowing what it is I can't offer much than to use a javascript function to obfuscate your code.

My mistake then. I thought it was a little of both since you can replace $_GET with $HTTP_POST_VARS, and the script will still work (PHP warnings will be logged though).

Would it be possible for your page to use the GET method instead?

[VillageIdiot906]

Wow. This is an old post. But I still need to figure out how to do this.

I'm trying to send private information (like passwords) across multiple pages.

Use a cookie or session variable after they authenticate. Either would be more secure than passing the credentials every time.

I would have to 2nd the reccomendation for sessions. You can establish session vars and pass information with each session easily and securely.
