i am presently passing the value of a variable to a php file using GET after data has been inserted to the database. ex= $firstname = $_POST["firstname"]; if(!$sqlconnection) { echo "error message"; } else { header("Location: thankyou.php?firstnameis=$firstname"); } how can i send the value of $firstname using POST instead of GET as the value is presently appearing in the address bar. ideally i would like using POST. NOTE = please suggest techniques that does NOT involve javascript in order to pass $firstname using POST method, as i have done the entire validations using php and i have assumed that user has javascript turned off.

In that case it can't be done. You cannot trigger a post on the client-side without using Javascript. Why do you need to redirect? Why can't you display the thankyou.php page inline rather than bouncing off the client? -Stut -- http://stut.net/
