Currently, I am posting via GET to third party server as seen below:

$item=urlencode($item);
header("Location: https://www.fake.com/fake.php?item=$item");

I want to reconfigure my header calls to POST instead of using GET for
sending $item to third party server. Is this doable?

Thank you,

Kris

No, you can't force a remote Web client to send a POST request. Maybe this is
possible with JavaScript, but I hope not.

You can do it this way:

<form action="https://www.fake.com/fake.php">
<input type="hidden" name="item" value="<?= $item ?>">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Actually, I think that if you do it this way, someone will have to
click on the submit button. If you want to redirect with a post, then
look in to using the CURL library.

Right. Either that, or remove the submit button, and have JavaScript
submit the form on page load.

Kris wants to redirect the user so CURL library would not work for this.
