how to pass hidden values by HTTP headers?

[sams]

I have a script passing value to a next php page, but the value
appears in the headder, making it visible. How do I hide the value?

header("Locatio n:http://$HTTP_HOST/$DOCROOT/registration_su ccess.php?useri d=$userid");

Appreciate any pointer.

TIA

Sam

You could use sessions, and store the values in $_SESSION["userid"], or you
could encode the variable in some way, to make it less obvious what you're
trying to do.

session_start() ;
$_SESSION["userid"] = $userid;
header("Locatio n:http://$HTTP_HOST/$DOCROOT/registration_su ccess.php");
