How to receive data, sent from header(location: .....) on next php page in POST method?

Question

In file1.php I am sending data through this code:

In file2.php I am hoping to get this data through POST…

$age = $_POST['age'];

…But I not getting it. I would like to get data via POST at page2.php.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you call an URL with get-parameters you need to access this parameters also with the $_GET-method.

You access the "age"-parameter in file2.php?age=20 by

$_GET['age']

Here are two links about post and get

Can I not get the 'age' through post method in file2.php? – MUHAMMAD AHMAD L1F14BSCS0435 Feb 03 '19 at 20:06
if you want to work with the post-variables you need to send the data in the post-method. – Bernhard Feb 03 '19 at 20:12

It is not possible to send POST data through a redirect. It is, however, possible to send POST data using cURL. See the accepted answer here for an example, and the php documentation for more info
