note 95321 added to function.header

Someone may soon come to that POST data is not sent along implicitly when making a redirect by a Location header. This can be annoying when (double) validating a form in a separate script and redirecting back to the page containing the form if validation fails. Though there is some woodoo for sending POST data explicitly from php, one simpler and maybe more elegant workaround is registering POST data as session variables. <?php session_start(); $_SESSION = array_merge($_SESSION, $_POST); header("Location: myform.php"); ?> Also do not forget to call session_start() at the beginning of myform.php. ---- Server IP: 92.43.200.200 Probable Submitter: 77.111.79.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95321 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95321 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95321 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
