I'm working on a query tool that displays data from a MySQL database. The user is presented with a form containing a few dozen dynamically-generated checkboxes so that they can select how to view the data. This data is submitted as a GET request and is (obviously) displayed in the url when the requested page loads.
On the same page as the input form, I have a php array that I am generating dynamically and that needs to be sent to the same place as the GET request. However, I do not want the values in this array to be displayed in the URL (i'm using them internally) so I'd like to submit them as a POST request instead.
Obviously, I can't do both a GET and POST request at the same time. I'm new to web development (computer science guy, otherwise) and have been scratching my head on how to approach this.
Let me know if the problem isn't clear.
EDIT: Many have suggested I add them to the action variable a la:
form action="process.php?get1=value...
All of these inputs are generated dynamically so to put them in the action variable is not feasible.
