Hey, I'm new, but I have some advice.
Do you have to POST? becuase you can use sessions, and PHP has a bunch os
session functions.
Secondly, POST will not attach any variables to the URL, this is done by
GET.
To access the POST variables traverse through the $HTTP_POST_VARS (or $_POST
array, i think) to retrieve your values.
But if you can try using sessions, more secure, and as easy to use as POST,
just traverse $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.
