How redirect user with all variables coming with POST

I have a html form with action="script1.php"

In script1 I need write all data to the database and redirect to script2.php, but I need all parameters posted to script1 to be sent to script2. mod_rewrite is on

How I can redirect using PHP with all data come through POST ?

if i do like that this disgusting practice but

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function Search(){
wpc_form.submit();
}
// -->
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload='Search()'>
 <form name=wpc_form  method="post" action="/script2/">
 <?php
foreach($_REQUEST as $name => $value)
echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$name.'" value="'.$value.'">'
 ?>

 </form>

You can use the cURL library (or similar) to send a separate POST request from your local script to the external service.

// assemble data from your post here:
$data = array('formfield' => 'data', 'otherfield' => 'otherdata');

// and then send it off somewhere else
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://somewhere.else');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_exec($ch);

A redirect doesn't allow you to do this unless you have custom client-side code running in the browser to extract state from the response message body in order to populate your form fields. This is advanced usage and probably not what you really want to do.

If you really do need to transmit state between your forms then you can use the session to do this. The form in the browser won't have access to the data, but your PHP script running on the server can store values between requests. Here's a link to a tutorial on sessions in PHP which might be of use to you. This approach is often used for maintaining application state between requests and redirects to third-party services such as OpenID providers etc.

Impossible.
But you don't need it. Because you have all this data already. Just read it from the database in script2.php
