That seems much more complicated than I need.
I understand that the POST operation stores the data from the form in
the message headers... I just need to know which headers, so I can use
that information to write my own... I basically want to make it seem as
if the $failure var was POST'ed back to the page.
I'm having NO luck whatsoever with the HTTP RFC's... too thick =>
Thanks,
Ben

How about using javascript?
For example
<form name="loginFailure" action="login.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="failure" value="true">
[...any other data you want...]
</form>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.forms[0].submit()
// or document.forms['loginFailure'].submit();
// -->
</script>
It's untested, but you get the idea.
Cheers
