How would I post data from one page to another withOUT using a forms submit button.
In essance, I want to pass information from one page to the next without forcing a user to click a forms button. Typically I use header() to redirect, but I need to redirect using a form POST so that the variables are not shown within the URL.
I'm sure this is one of those idiot questions, but I've never had to do this in 5+ years of programming, so got no idea.
I believe JavaScript's form object has a method to submit a form (thus submitting without a button-click), but if I understood your post correctly, you don't even want a form there - in that case, you can use cURL library. This allows you to set $_POST without going through an HTML form (and way more than that). Some familiarity with HTTP will definitely be a help in using cURL. I'm nopt an expert on this, so if you are interested, check these out:

In the page that you don't want to have the submit
button on, you would have to have all of the additional
normal html and form properties on the page with your
form post as follows:
