Man, remember HTML? Me neither.

So, the dilly is thus...I've created a site using PHP and MySQL, and I need to pass variables from one page to another. Right now, I use forms with the POST method for most of it, but occasionally, I need a normal old hyperlink.

My question...is there a way to use POST with a hyperlink? Right now, I have something like

Code:

showSingle.php?id=74&name=test&other=thing...

Is there any way to POST that? A lot of my scripts are using the $_POST array, and it just seems easier to continue to do so, rather than switching to $_GET for some of it.

Any ideas? I guess I could use a frameset, and basically just hide ALL of the URLs, but that sucks, and I do want to use GET for some, so people can bookmark pages, etc.
