PHP Post

[FrEaKmAn]

Hello

I'm working on paypal payment system and I'm wondering how can I post data with PHP. I don't want any forms that have some hidden inputs, but everything should be hidden in PHP. I checked some modules (like on oscommerce) but I don't understand them. So does anybody know any code, class, tutorial for this?

You'd be smarter to use SESSIONS

Hope this helps.

what does a session has to do with post? I'm just wondering if there is a better way then "old" <form method="POST"> way..

How is that method 'old'?

How is that method 'old'?

as I said, "old". It not old and it's used almost everywhere, but it's older comparing to the new methods..

If it's the generally used method, I see no reason why you should use other methods. :)

Sessions can be dangerous, potentially hackable. The hacker can duplicate session or some of XSS.

If he's using SSL, $_POST will be fine.

If you don't want to store things in hidden fields, put them in a database.

Because POST causes other issues (back button: page expired, and sometimes 404)

Are you trying to have PHP POST the data to another website?
If so, check out cUrl.

It basically sends a HTTP request from within your PHP code, much like AJAX does from withing Javascript. It can send POST data and you can even have it use SSL.
