Smart Redirect

[Shoeb Omar]

Hey guys..

I wanted to know if it's possible to redirect to a script filling in it's post values in the redirect code..

As in:

$_POST['user'] = 'bob';
$_POST['pass'] = 'pass';
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?action=login2");

I tried a variation of that but it didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

You can't use Location, but yes.

When you use the admin login thing, it actually does this .  It basically dumps the form data into a form.

Using javascript, you can auto submit it too... but this is usually bad practice.

you can temporarily save it in session variable or cookies...
or make a temporary database table...

so.. with a diff redirect it would work? And if so, what type would you suggest that you know works?

I would suggest avoiding redirects whenever possible, except when they are necessary.  If you can redirect the data internally, or even pipe it manually, it might go better.

A javascript:

Code Select Expand


<script>
function redireccionar(pagina){location.href=pagina} setTimeout (redireccionar('?'), 1000);
</script>


But do this:

Code Select Expand


echo "<script>";
echo "function redireccionar(pagina){location.href=pagina} setTimeout (redireccionar('?'), 1000);</script>";


Why? well, because if you want see this in your explorer, it's not going to work, just work in the server, because is a php instruccion.

That won't do post data.  What I referenced involved outputting an entire html form, and then using document.formName.submit().
