PHP Redirection with POST Parameters

The query posed concerns redirecting users from one webpage to another while retaining POST parameters. The original method, which involved transferring GET parameters to POST parameters through a form, was deemed suboptimal, especially for users with JavaScript disabled. The question sought a pure PHP-based solution for POST parameter transfer during redirection.

The answer revealed that it is possible to header redirect a POST request, including its parameters. This is achieved by explicitly setting the HTTP status code to 307 before the redirect location.

header('HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect');
header('Location: anotherpage.php');

However, it's crucial to note that, according to the HTTP specification, the user agent should prompt the user for confirmation before resubmitting the POST information to the new URL. In practice, while some browsers may skip this step, Firefox presents a confirmation popup. This behavior may present potential confusion for end users in certain use cases.
