Redirect with POST

Hello,

I am playing with automatic redirection with PHP. As with GET is
fairly simple (<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url="http://
www.google.com/search?q=php">

how can I do similar thing with POST (lets assume that I want to add q
= php to post variables). How can I do this?

regards, Ann

You cant.

If you want to pass POST variables to a page you either have to post
them, as in submit a form, or use cURL through PHP.

Hello,
Thank you! I tried both methods, but:
- when I used html form, I must click a button to proceed (and I want
automatic redirection after 5 seconds). Can I simulate somehow submit
click on this form?

- when I used cURL functions (e.g. saved in file redirect.php) and
want to pass POST variables to show.php it works okay (to delay I used
sleep(5), but in the browser the original url (redirect.php) is saved
and not changed to show.php. Any idea how to make that change?

Regards, Ann

Never used CURL - pass. In javascript the problem is soluble p[retty simply.

Redirection you can access it there.

This is not a redirect. Proper redirects are done on HTTP level with
appropriate status codes. The above is an abuse of the meta element and
a good way to break the browser's back button. Don't do that.
HTTP doesn't allow this. Use a session to pass the data to another page
or, if it's a completely different site, have the user invoking the
submit by pressing a submit button.
