OK I understand the difference between a get & a post but if I just have a URL/link which is calling a function like so: abc.com/display_information?customer_number=$value It passes to the display_information the customer number visably, is there a way to do this where it's not visable?
You can put the value in a hidden form field and submit it with JavaScript, but it's still not truly hidden, as it is still sent in a cleartext HTTP request. You might like to investigate sessions, which are stored on the server, or SSL, to protect data in transit across the Internet. Jasper
