How about using javascript?

For example

<form name="loginFailure" action="login.php" method="POST">
        <input type="hidden" name="failure" value="true">
                [...any other data you want...]
</form>

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
        document.forms[0].submit()

        // or document.forms['loginFailure'].submit();
// -->
</script>

It's untested, but you get the idea.

Cheers
