i am presently passing the value of a variable to a php file using GET

else
{
header("Location: thankyou.php?firstnameis=$firstname");
}

how can i send the value of $firstname using POST instead of GET as
the value is presently appearing in the address bar. ideally i would
like using POST.

NOTE = please suggest techniques that does NOT involve javascript in
order to pass $firstname using POST method, as i have done the entire
validations using php and i have assumed that user has javascript
turned off.


by the looks of it... You already have it setup right... basically you would you something like this:

FORM:
<form method="post" action="mysuperphppage.php">
<input type="text" name="txtfirstname">
<input type="submit">
</form>

mysuperphppage.php:
<?PHP
$firstname = $_POST['txtfirstname'];

echo <<<HTML
Thank you {$firstname}, You're the best!
HTML;
?>


Of course, all untested, but it should get you the basics...
