Dipika · Answer

Actually i m having a page addmember.php which get post to processaddmember.php and on this process page it confirms from the user wheather he wants to enter the payment details or not. If user says OK then gets redirect to payment or settles on the same page addmember. echo  if (confirm('Member added successfully. Do you want to add the contact details of this member?')== true) { //window.location.href = 'payment.php'; } else { window.location.href = 'addmember.php'; } ; echo  ; echo  ;

In that case you can store the values in the localStorage and read them in the next page. Something like this localStorage.setItem( objKey value); //Getthevalue varvalue=localStorage.getItem( objKey ); This would do the trick but I will not recommend forwarding the users using jQuery. But this will work as the data will be saved on the local storage and you can read that later on the next page instead of having to pass that as query string.

It should. Consider using the method of the form as post. Can you show the code that you are using? You can change it to post > This form would be submitted using HTTP POST. Even if there are session tokens keys everything will be submitted and wrapped in the POST headers instead of the URL.

Use HTTP POST requests. HTTP GET requests will always have the content in the query string POST requests can hide sensitive content from the URL.
