title: How can I pass POST parameters in a URL?
body: <p>Basically, I think that I can't, but I would be very happy to be proven wrong.</p>
  <p>I am generating an HTML menu dynamically in PHP, adding one item for each current user, so that I get something like <code>&lt;a href=&quot;process_user.php?user=&lt;user&gt;&gt;</code>, but I have a preference for POST over GET.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to pass the information as a POST parameter, rather than GET from a clickable HREF link?</p>
  <p>I am not allowed to use JavaScript.</p>

That way you could have your values in hidden fields inside the same form to be sent via POST&quot;</p>
