Re: Using PHP to POST a form (and go to the page)?

That's EXACTLY my question... I want to know if I can use PHP to simulate an actual POST... 1) The user goes to Page A. 2) PHP does some background processing, creating and sending the POST vars to Page B. 3) The user ends up on Page B as if they had POSTed a form to it (with HTTP_POST_VARS not empty). Is it possible? It's GOTTA be possible, right???? Anything is possible with PHP... Thanks, JRB jeremy brand <jeremy@nirvani.net> wrote: > > Yes HTTP_POST_VARS will be empty (or non-existant rather).
