Php session variable instead of GET method

I have a form that has name, Id, address etc. It needs to refresh after user enters the ID inorder to query and retrieve other information such as major based the entered ID. Once it refreshes, I retrieve back the entered values via Get method so to retain the entered form values. Shown below

      <?php
       $_SESSION['Bid']=@$_GET['Bid'];
       $_SESSION['Stufname']=$_GET['fname'];
       $_SESSION['Stulname']=$_GET['lname'];
       ?>

      <form name="form1" method="post" action="registration.php" >

       <input type="text"  name="Bid"  value="<?php echo $_SESSION['Bid'];?>" 
      MAXLENGTH=9    size="9">  

      </form>

All works fine but i know GET method is unsecure since the variables are now shown in the URL and I want to get away from using get. I tried session variable in other scripts but in this case, because the page refreshes after entering ID, I am not really sure how to capture and store the form values in the session variables on page refresh without using the GET method as I did above.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks,

You can use POST rather. You'll be able to figure out the syntax from here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_post.asp but I'd recommend doing more research before posting a question.
