Sending post variable

Hi all.

I have a script with a form

<form action="a.php" ... method="post">
<input name="field" ...>
</form>

a.php gets the variable with

$a = $_POST['field'];

How can I send $a to another script via POST?
I have another script that needs some fields using POST.
1) The user sends a form to a.php
2) a.php adds some fields and sends all to another script using POST.

With GET I would get

header('Location: b.php?k=h&newfield=' . $a);

But with POST?

Any ideas?

You would be better to do this with session variables:

As someone already pointed out you can mimic a HTTP POST using PHP.

POST redirection can be done with "303 See Other" HTTP status
<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#c111577953637573243>,
*AFAIK*. But, I never got that working.
