I'm sending info through a link read in an email via $_GET (i.e. link in email is in form http://website.com?dogs=cats"). But I want the site URL to not have the appendages visible. So I've tried:
- Linking to a page which saves the $_GET in a hidden form fields, then automatically submits the form; problem is that the back button then leads back to this intermediary page
- Same as above, opening intermediary page in new tab, then having the form load another new tab (_blank), and closes itself; works fine, except in IE these are windows, which are annoying
I'm considering saving the $_GET results in a cookie, then redirecting the page with a header(), then extracting data and expiring the cookie.
Is there an easier way that I'm overlooking?
