Are you sure?
Sending POST data to another location must be triggered or at least
confirmed by the user. Automatically redirecting anything other than
GET or HEAD is explicitly forbidden by the HTTP spec ("MUST NOT").
Ah, it may be forbidden, but does it work? ;-)

NO


Besides all that, a "hidden" variable is not really "hidden". A "view source" will expose that variable. Session variables are, indeed, the way to go.


well you can view cookies as well.

Frankly, though, I don't see the big problem. Since the OP is passing in the error message, it is obviously to display it to the user. Otherwise, why do it? If it is also in the URL, so what?


What does that have to do with this conversation? No one has mentioned cookies until you did.

Why do you keep bringing up unrelated topics?
