    How do I get rid of long URLs?

    In many cases I use URLs like foo.php?a=4b&c= d&e=f&g=h etc.
    to send variables from one script to another
    Is there a way to not have the long URL and just call foo.php and send the
    variables in a more "invisible" way?

    I didn't know sci.bio.paleont ology was that low traffic until I tried read
    the thread "Where is everyone?" and found it to be expired.

      I forgot to tell, there is no user input required on the webpages

          Dear Gunnar,

          you could try to serialize your data and then compress it ...
          Or, if you are looking for a method to send data from one server to
          another, have a look at the curl functions - this way you could use
          POST variables instead of GET and your data would disappear completely
          from your URL ...

          Good luck
          Martin

              Maybe you are looking for the HTTP POST method?

                  Then whoever has designed the site designed it to work that way - moving to
                  statically addressed URLs is not going to be trivial.

                  If the structure is consistent then you might be able to get some mileage
                  out of using mod_rewrite. And / Or you could look at condensing and
                  multiplexing your variables.

                  Or just shove a big frame in front of the page.

                      Gunnar,

                      If you're just passing data from one page to another, you could use the
                      $_SESSION variable. Easier than using CURL, but one difference with
                      what you have now. $_GET values are transient - they only appear when
                      they are passed as parameters. Once a $_SESSION value is set, it
                      remains until you clear it or the session ends. This may or may not
                      cause problems for you.

                          Are you really sure you want to use your time to this? Because if point is
                          to move information to ANY other page in ANY other domain without ANY
                          problems, that's the normal way to do it. Too much efforts just on "beauty"
                          of url are waste of time.

                          Of course sessions and cookies are there. But before using them, there
                          should IMHO be a REASON to do it.

                              You could use a form button instead of a hyperlink .

                              <input type="hidden" name="user" value="<?php print $uzi; ?>">

                              The above variable wont show up on the next page .
