I'm doing some coding and realizing that a lot of stuff i'd like to do in the future is dependant on passing info along from page to page.

So far, it's been pretty easy to use the GET method and just do http://...php?var=1 or whatever.

But... if I wanted to transfer a bunch of data, that would be awkward.

For forms, the post method is a great way of doing it.

Is there a way to use the post method without submitting through forms?

Is there some other general way to pass along info?

I've tried storing it in a database then getting it, but that's SO roundabout. Ew.
