He said it's not a form, so he can't change the method to POST.

Also, this does not hide the URL once it's been clicked. it expands
it, and allows someone to see the variables, which can then be
changed and resubmitted.

Not quite sure how this would work. If I can click on the link, I
can see (and copy) the full URI.

He might want to look into cURL and
libcURL(http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/) I believe there are tools
there for doing a POST through a standard clickable URL.
