You can either encrypt the url parameter string, but that still shows that string in the browser.

Second method is to use POST instead of GET, by using cUrl. When PHP at your server supports cUrl, the following example can, after adapting to your needs, be used to post your data.
[php]
<?php
// ------------ POST an array via curl -----------------------

// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://path/to/your/page.php");

// fill the POST array
$data=array('empId' => $rows['empId'],
'empFirstName'=> $rows['empFirstName'],
'empLastName' => $rows['empLastName']
);

// Do the POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

// grab URL, and print
curl_exec($ch);

?>
[/php]
