How to pass data to HTML page without cookies?

I have an HTML page with edit fields on it. When the page's Submit button
is pressed from within the browser, the edit fields values are submitted to
a PHP script running on my server via the POST request method.

What I want to do from within my server side PHP script, is "pass" those
variables on to another HTML page running on the server. If all goes well,
than the browser will display the HTML page, which will use Javascript to
plug those transferred edit field values into some display elements on the
page.

What I don't know how to do is how to tell the browser, to navigate to the
new HTML page with the edit field values going along for the ride. I don't
want to use cookies in case they're blocked. The only thing I can think of
is using a REDIRECT. Would this be the proper way to this? If so, how
would I execute/emulate a POST to the new HTML page using a REDIRECT (a
re-post I guess).


I have a server side PHP script which receives certain information from an
HTML page, running on a client side browser, via the page's FORM action.

Robert,

The best way would be for the script to output the HTML page itself.
What does the script currently return to the browser ?

To send your HTML page, you need to include it in the script.

Say your submit button is called FRED

detect that FRED has been pressed :
and output the html page in reply
<?php

if ($_POST['FRED']){
include 'My_HTML_PAGE.html' ;
}
?>

Now before you do that you will need to edit your html page to allow for the
inserts

<snip my_html_page>
<h1> <?php echo $myheading ; ?></h1> // note the semicolon !
</snip>

so provided your script loads a value into the scalar ' $myheading ' before
the page is included, the html page will display the value of $myheading
as an H1 heading in this example or whatever wherever you want it to be -
you can even preload form controls just set the control value to the php
expression .

happy coding
