Send POST data to PHP without using an HTML form?

Question

Is there anyway to send post data to a php script other than having a form? (Not using GET of course).

I want javascript to reload the page after X seconds and post

Form your own header, as such:

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

userId=admin&password=letmein
