How to redirect with POST data with PHP?
To redirect with POST data with PHP, we can store the data in sessions.
For instance, we write
session_start();
$_SESSION["email"] = "awesome@email.com";
header("Location: page_b.php");
on page_a.php to call session_start to start the session.
Then we set $_SESSION["email"] to the value we want.
Next, we call header with a string to redirect to page_b.php.
Then on page_b.php, we write
session_start();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "</pre>";
unset($_SESSION["email"]);
session_destroy();
to start the session with session_start();.
Then we print the raw $_SESSION data with print_r.
We then remove the session entry with key email with unset.
And we call sesion_destroy to destroy the session.
