The information that comes in from the first page is a creditcard form with the standard values (CCnumber, Expiry Date, Cardholder name etc). On page 2 an XMLrequest is done with a verification gateway (in this case to check for enrolment in 3D-Secure), the result for that I get back on the same page and no redirection needs to be done. However AFTER the enrolment check with the gateway I need to send the user along to the 3rd page, which is a URL that is provided by the verification process. So to get there, as I need to pass a heap of data to that 3rd page I can either use GET or POST, but since the amount of data is fairly big the only real option for this part seems POST. So it's not really about keeping the data persistent, it's more about the fact on how to push the user along correctly. Hope that makes sense somehow.
