not going to happen. you can't use POST in this way.

POST is a separate request in itself. so although it is technically
possible to POST the data back to the original page, how are you going
to get the user there at the same time? redirect? nope. that starts
another request and will therefore not keep your POSTed data.

unless your data is prohibitively long i don't see why you shouldn't use
GET. an alternative would be to use session data or write the data to a
cookie.
