You're trying to post to the browser which won't know how to handle

being sent back to the browser, they do not create a new request.

If you want to do a new request I suggest looking at curl. If you
actually want the browser to make the new request the only way is to
return a hidden form and auto-submit it with JS. However, as someone
else pointed out if that second request is coming back to the same
server there probably isn't any need for a second request at all.

Why using JS?

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;" . $FULL_URL "\">";

would do the trick...

Bloody nora Michelle. If you're going to post answers to week-old questions please have the decency to read the question properly. The OP wanted to automatically POST some data. That's not gonna happen with a meta tag no matter how much you want it to do it.
