Can i send for example a string or another piece of information to another .php file without it being exposed [thus not by GET but by POST conform to what i know] without using a form?

When you put the data in URL you can either use $_GET or $_REQUEST to get the data. In case you want to get the data using the $_POST method, you need to pass is using the post method itself. In case you are using JQuery.
Use GET if you want to read data without changing state, and use POST if you want to update state on the server.
To post HTML form data to the server in URL-encoded format, you need to make an HTTP POST request to the server and provide the HTML form data in the body of the POST message. You also need to specify the data type using the Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded request header.
If you don't want your data to be seen by the user, use a PHP session.
Data in a post request is still accessible (and manipulable) by the user.

You could use AJAX to send a POST request if you don't want forms.
Using jquery $.post method it is pretty simple:
$.post('/foo.php', { key1: 'value1', key2: 'value2' }, function(result) { alert('successfully posted key1=value1&key2=value2 to foo.php'); }); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
