Re: Using POST to pass variables

Except this passes the "message" in the URL. Is there a way to pass variables as a POST (not in the URL)? I have a class that creates a new socket, however on my client's shared server, the creation of sockets is not allowed. With a new socket, I am able to pass the variable information via the socket (POST). Todd David Robley wrote:

When I have more than one button on a page, I us what I call a reentrant approach. That is the page calls itself. If the page is emailer.pgp, the the FORM tag would be <form method="get" action="emailer.php"> At the top is <?php

   $send    = $_GET[btnSend];  // Send button pressed

$cancel = $_GET[btnCancel];// Cancel is pressed $message = $_GET[message]; if ($send) {

     header("location: send.php?message=" . $message);

} if ($cancel) {

     header("location: index.php");

} ?> Is there a better way to do this so I can use a POST form? Thank you... Todd

What about: <form method="post" action="emailer.php"> and if (isset($_POST['send']) ) { # do some sanitising on $_POST['message'] here header("location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/send.php?message=" . $_POST['message']); } exit(); if (isset($_POST['cancel']) ) { header("location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/index.php"); } Add other sanity checks as required.
