返回字符串$ _GET字符串参数以外的数据的其他方法？

Question

So im asking what options do I have other than redirecting GET variables when Im trying to repopulate a form?

Im thinking I can create session variable and use that also. Am I correct that these are the ONLY 2 ways?

What I have now is:

if ( count($m) > 0 ) {    
// there is an error in fields filled out so we are sending user back to     form.
$_SESSION["myarray"] = $m;
header("location: ./edit.php?datefield=".$datefield."&text=".$entry."&flag=".$flag);    
}

but this reveals my variable to the user. I want to avoid this.

UPDATE I re-worded my question and the code to be clearer. I also like found that the solution for me was to use an include('edit-error.php'). Which is basically the original edit.php with everything stripped out but the code needed to generate the form, and I populated edit-error.php with the needed variables. I never had this in my tool box before so I am grateful to the user who suggested it.

Answer 1

One way that you can consider for hide information (not totally, but more stronger than GET) of user is create a JSON with your infos and send a POST request to your page.

Personally, I still preferring sessions, but there are other ways.

Answer 2

The solution I used was provided my user pala_ , so thanks pala_ I up voted your comment.

I used include('edit-error.php'). Which is basically the original edit.php with everything stripped out but the code needed to generate the form, and I populated edit-error.php's form with the needed variables. I never had this in my tool box before so I am grateful to the pala_ who suggested it.

This allows me to conduct server side validation and redisplay the form again with user input, so they can resubmit. I was using header(Location) with paramaters to submit as GET and I didnt want that. Using include() is a perfect solution for me.
