You may use the following code. The code is not an inteligent solution to your problem I guess but it had always worked for me. You can use cURL's post options as well. The other way is to use AJAX posting method of course.
CODE:
<form name="DuplicateUserForm" action="duplicateuser.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="duplicateuser" value="<?php echo $username; ?>">
</form>
<form name="ThankYouForm" action="thankyou.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="fname" value="<?php echo $fname; ?>">
</form>
<?php
if($usernamerows > 0)
{
?>
<script language="Javascript">
document.DuplicateUserForm.submit();
</script>
<?php
}
else
{
?>
<script language="Javascript">
document.ThankYouForm.submit();
</script>
<?php
}
?>
That's it. Then you can use either $_POST[] or $_REQUEST[] in either thankyou.php or duplicateuser.php.

presently i am able to pass value of a variable $username as part of
the url and i am able to read using GET by doing so the value
appears in the browser address bar and i would like to use hidden
and also be able to read this value
following is the code i am presently using
if($usernamerows > 0)
{
header("Location: duplicateuser.php? duplicateuser=".$username);
}
else
{
header("Location: thankyou.php?fname=".$fname);
}
how can i use hidden so that the url does not get appended in the
address bar and still the read the value of the variables i want to
pass and how should i read the variables in the other pages, is it
$_POST[]
i tried using this code just before the header() statement but it
does not work and i get an error.
echo "<input type ='hidden' name='duplicateuser' value='$username'>";
echo "<input type ='hidden' name='fname' value='$fname'>";
please advice.
thanks.
