Hello,
I have a search form using a POST method (not a GET one!).
After recieving the request I would like to have my page (the same page) be reloaded on the server with user friendly url in the browser address box.
http://exemple.com/spage.php?id=12&ci=13
I did it like this:
....
page = 'spage.php?id=' . $received['sloc'] . '&ci=' .$received['sdef'];
if($redirect == 1){
header('Location: ' . $page);
exit();
}
....
And it works on my local computer but it does not work on Godaddy server.
How it can be done? And wthat is the best way to make a transfer from POST to GET?
Thank you.
A+

Also: it is possible to use $_REQUEST[] as a replacement for *both* $_GET[]
and $_POST[]. Thus the form can be POSTed, but the search page can be accessed
with a URL (eg GET method). If you do this, be sure to validate and check for
spoofed URLs.

I would also add what Robert touched on but needs to be driven home.
Do not use $_REQUEST UNLESS.....you have some trustworthy validation
checks that you would trust all your bank account information to.
The request superglobal also contains $_COOKIES, which from my last
recollection are loaded last and can overwrite your gets and posts which
can really spoil your day.
I personally don't use it period.

Ditto here, Scott. I find it much better to use the appropriate
superglobal ($_GET, $_POST or $_COOKIE) to ensure the value is coming
from where it is supposed to.
Additionally, what happens if you're expecting a value for 'xyz' in the
$_GET or $_POST array, and at some point change other code to set a
cookie named 'xyz'? It can cause all kinds of weird, hard to find problems.
$_REQUEST, IMHO, is just a bug waiting to occur.
