title: PHP - hide url (GET) parameters
body: <p>I have a link in my PHP/HTML like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://search.mywebsite.com/login.aspx?checktype=uid&amp;user=adam&amp;password=pass1234&amp;profile=dart&amp;defaultdb=kts"&gt; Log me into this website &lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When users click on the link, the parameters are handled by a 3rd party website which log the users in seamlessly.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to hide/mask/camouflage the url so that users don't see the parameters while still passing them over to the designated site?</p>
  
  <p>If no, how would you guys go about this? I'm mainly worried about the user and password params and need those hidden. (user=adam&amp;password=pass1234)</p>
  
  <p>The only way i know how to hide params is when using a form post method but in this case it is not an option because im working with a direct link.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  <em>To those who keep suggesting using a POST method, this is not an option because I'm not using a form and the receiving website is out of my control. I'm logging in from one site to another (3rd party) website</em></p>
