Chances are you are taking the wrong approach here. If you are redirecting to the same server, why not just pass some sort of identifier in the GET request and then use that to fetch the associated data? If you have a lot of data, passing it across the wire back and forth between the server and the client is a really bad idea. This sort of data id is essentially what a session is. So you could simply use the built-in PHP session support. If you need to post to a remote host somewhere directly from within PHP, you can fsockopen() to port 80 and fputs() the appropriate request and POST data. If you search around for a function called PostToHost you will find a little example I wrote years ago to show you how to do it. -Rasmus
