sending hidden url variables

[belinha]

Hello all,
I hope someone can help me with this question, even to say it is not possible!

I'm coding PHP and at a certain point I have to redirect to a different page (without using "include"), but at the same time I have to keep/send two variables. I'm using javascript to send the variables via url:
<?
echo "<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>";
echo "window.location.replace('mypage.php?codbadge=$codbadge&passwd=$passwd');";
echo "</SCRIPT>";
?>

If I do it like this (it works) however, the two variables will be read at the URL bar of the browser (ex:http://www.whatever.com/mypage.php?codbadge=1111&passwd=2222 ). I'd prefer to keep these hidden, but I must send them to the next page.

Can someone help me with this or is it impossible?
Thanks for any help
Belinha

You can use POST data - write the variables into a form, and then use javascript to auto-submit the form. You will generate a history event this way - unlike the replace method you're currently using - but other than that it will amount to the same as what you;re currently doing.

<form action="mypage.php" method="post" name="blah">
<input type="hidden" name="codbadge" value="<?php echo($codbadge); ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="passwd" value="<?php echo($passwd); ?>" />
</form>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.blah.submit();
// -->
</script>


If I remember PHP syntax correctly that should work for you...
