I know php is server side, but you can set headers. EX: header("location: google.com") — Ethan H

Sort of, except my host won't allow adding extensions to the PHP installation; is there any way to send a value without using a form, $_GET, $_SESSION, $_COOKIES (I don't want it to be saved or shown anywhere) — Ethan H

Sure, you can create a valid http request with your specified POST parameters easily using a library like cURL.

See this for a curl example

If you are limited to plain PHP you can create your own (valid) http-request, see example
