RE: [PHP] HTTP POST Question

I see the basic's... but... It's not completely clear from what I'm seeing. 1. It appears if I use the header function I have to redirect the page to another page, it doesn't appear possible to retrieve a page into the current page? Unless someone can show me some code that would do that. 2. it's not clear how you would actually set the HTTP_POST_VARS's and when you use the header("Request-URI:"); if that uses the HTTP_POST_VARS? as of right now it looks like the code would go as follows: <?php $HTTP_POST_VARS (not sure how to set these Something like this $HTTP_POST_VARS['uid']="userid"; ) header("Request-URI: http://localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl"); ?> Is that all that has to be done? thanks, evan > -----Original Message----- > From: Milan Mlynarcik [SMTP:mmlynarcik@charmed.sk] > Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 7:33 AM > To: Montgomery-Recht, Evan > Subject: Re: [PHP] HTTP POST Question > > You have to use header() function and how POST work you can find in HTTP > RFC > at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html > ------------------------------------------------------------- > Milan Mlynarcik > Web Programmer > Charmed Technology Slovakia > Nam. sv.
