redirect user to another page

Question

I have this form :

I want to know if there is some way that when a user choose directeur from niveau option field to be redirected to the directeur's page, and if he is choose some other value he will be redirected to this value's page.

I know the method using JavaScript but I have to work only with PHP, and to do all manipulation on that form in the same page where the page is.

I tried this :

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
   {
      if($_POST['niveau'] == 'directeur')
          header('Location: directeur.php');

   }

but this will redirect the user to the page without the $_POST values. I know that there I can send some values with the url and retreive them use $_GET but I have to use only $_POST.

so is there any other method to do that ?

You are trying to set post data on a PHP redirect. This already exists: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5576619/php-redirect-with-post-data — markasoftware, Mar 12 '13 at 00:58

Yes, use $_SESSION:

session_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    if($_POST['niveau'] == 'directeur')
        $_SESSION['info'] = $_POST;
        header('Location: directeur.php');
    }
}

And in directeur.php:

session_start();
$niveau = $_SESSION['info'];

redirect user to another page
