Is there a way to pass > the data as though it was a POST method i.e. not in the URL? It's impossible to change the HTTP method. So if your user-agent is performing a GET request, a location header would result in another GET request. Thus, unless you are using a POST method (which is odd since you wrote that the variables are in the URL) it's not possible. What you could do is write it into $_SESSION (and call session_write_close before you redirect) Or you could stuff it yourself in $_POST and include/require mypage.php Btw, there are browsers that don't handle a relative URL for redirection very well. I suggest that you use an absolute URL (as written in RFC2616 section 14.30) -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Tim Van Wassenhove <http://timvw.madoka.be>
