Re: Q: Calling a script and keeping the URL clean

Hi, Unfortunately, with that function it's not possible. You have to use hidden form variables and post the variables trough a form post method or store the values of the variables as cookies. If you really need to keep the value of the variables secure and you insist on using your own method (header), you better code the values and decode at the other side which I personally do not suggest. Different coding methods are available on the net.

When I use a hidden-form element this value must be send to the script as well (in the HTML header or HTML body) and the URL is "clean". So it should be possible to simulate that behavior with the header() function or something like that?!? When I use Header("Location: $BASEURL?aVar=" . rawurlencode($aVar)); everybody can see the variables. Isn't it possible to simulate the "hidden-form element"-version with that function?
