1. Use the query string. Eg header('Location: http://www.xxx.com?name=value&name2=value2');

With all that in mind, if you must POST then you can do something like this: $data = addslashes("yourvar=$yourdata&secondvar=$moredata"); //just like get header('POST /some/path/to/somefile.php HTTP/1.1'); header('Host: www.example.com'); header("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); header("Content-Length: " . strlen($data)); header($data); -Shawn

Have you tried it? I very much doubt that would work, considering neither GET nor POST are valid in a RESPONSE (which is what you're sending), they're only valid in REQUEST headers (which you're not in right now, that's the browser's domain)
