So basically there is no easy way around this.
What I'm trying to do is have a page return to a page that was a
couple pages back with the same get info. On the second page I can do
$return_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
to get the previous url. But then I need to pass it on to the next
page, then that page will return to the $return_url.
I think passing via $_SESSION vars or cookies would be easier then
doing actual socket posts.
If there is an easier way than session or cookies to do this, I'd like to know.

It's super easy, actually. There's been a wee bit of code floating around
the mailing list for 5 or so years for this:
function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) {
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
fputs($fp, $data_to_send);
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
Just modify to suit and you're good to go. Note: you need to URL-encode the
data you send into a string before passing it to the above function.
Hope this helps,
