Setting POST variable without using form

Question

Is there a way to set a $_POST[\'var\'] without using form related field (no type=\'hidden\') and using only PHP. Something like

$_POST[\'name\'         


        

Answer 1

you can do it using ajax or by sending http headers+content like:

POST /xyz.php HTTP/1.1
Host: www.mysite.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0
Content-Length: 27
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
