    Redirecting user via post

    Hi

    I just made a script that gets a bunch of login info and I've come across a
    hurdle that I failed to think about it.. and now think I may have wasted my
    time...

    The login info I retreive needs to be POSTed to another site. Everything is
    beautiful, except now I don't know how to go about it..

    I could use Location: URL but I have to chuck on the login info in the URL
    which would then be visible to the naked eye.

    Is there a way to POST it.. ? Been a while since I messed with web stuff so
    any help appreciated.

    Please help.

    TIA

      Use the HTTP status code 307:

      header("HTTP/1.0 307 Temporary Redirect");
      header("Locatio n: http://www.example.com/");

      When the incoming request is a POST, the browser post to the redirected page
      as well. Note that in some non-standard browsers a warning would appear.

          My guess is this is not what the OP acutally wants. Unless he wants to
          redirect the browser to the other site (in that case pointing the action
          directly to the site might be easier).

          My guess is that he wants to do the post from within his own php, in
          that case he could take a look at curl, snoopy
          (http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/) or an code snipper I once

              Excellent! That works great, thanks.

                  It's a bit more than that. I need to check a radio option that the user
                  selects, and then the form data they entered gets posted to the site
                  depending on what radio option they selected.

                  Thanks for your help.

                      But then the user doesn't get redirected to the other site. If you need to
                      alter the form data before the redirection occurs, I think the only way is
                      to generate a form with the altered data in hidden fields, then submit the
                      form automatically using Javascript.
