If variable sent via GET, Redirect and send variable via POST

Is this possible?

[Jeremy_H]

Hello,

I'm trying to detect weather a variable was received via POST or GET. If the method was GET, then to automatically redirect to the POST equivalent.

<?php
ifset($_GET["s"]){
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
... set POST=$_GET["s"]; ...
}
?>

Is it possible to set the POST variable?

No, you can't just redirect to a POST form handler. But why not just handle the data, regardless of where it comes from?

If you're trying to post data to another site that you don't own, libcurl [google.com] can do it.

why redirect?

or if you must, then try
if(isset($_GET['s']))
{
//use libcurl
}

or if you are redirecting on the same url, then you can save the get and post in session and then process it.

Hope this helps you somehow

Here's what I do:

<?php
$the_variable_value = $_POST['the_variable'];
if (!$the_variable_value ){
$the_variable_value = $_GET['the_variable'];
}
?>

If there is a security issue, I either use a cookie, or only accept the value via $_POST.
