How Can I 'run' a php file without showing it?

I have the folllowing problem:

In a html page I show several 'buttons'. This buttons have a
onclick="Agregar([a number])". The 'Agregar(number)' function calls a php
file. This php file UPDATES a row in a MYSQL database using the number. Up
to here is OK.

I don't want to show the: "?m=number" (in the URL, when I call the pHP file)

or best... That the PHP files runs transparentely.
or at least with a POST method to send the parameters (number)

The code I have is somethig like:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function Agregar(matnum) {
window.location.href="member.php?m=" + matnum;
}
// -->
</script>

....

<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2011310)"
class=button>
<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2011410)"
class=button>
<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2012010)"
class=button>
<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2012110)"
class=button>
<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2015510)"
class=button>
<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2015530)"
class=button>
<input type="button" value="agregar" onclick="Agregar(2015610)"
class=button>


Thank you.

Use an iframe to call the PHP file, which can reload the parent page with
javascript when finished. Note that for this to work, both files should run
on the same domain.

document.images['someImage'].src="phpFile.php?m=" + matnum;

<img name="someImage" src="phpFile.php" width="1" height="1">

Then, the URL is never seen (to most anyway).

Why don't you just submit using POST method?

<form action='member.php'>
<input type="submit" value="agregar" name="Agregar[2015530]" class=button>
<input type="submit" value="agregar" name="Agregar[2015610]" class=button>
</form>

In the form handler member.php you just get the clicked button

$m = current(keys($_REQUEST['Agregar']));

// Result: $m contains either 2015530 or 2015610 depending on which button
was clicked.
// Now just add those n+1 buttons you had there....

If you were wondering: in a form that has multiple submit buttons, only the
one that is clicked is submitted, so it's a good way to do this. So in this
case, nothing but the button that was clicked is sent. And in the form
handler we just recieve the array index of it.

I think Kimmo Laine solution is what I was expecting, a POST method
Solution.
