Here is what I have so far:
<?php
// Simulating some post values for test proposes
$_POST['test'] = 'testing values';
// POST contents (originally from a form in another page)
$query = http_build_query( $_POST );
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() { $("#myiframe").load(function(){ window.location.replace('after.php'); }); });
</script>
<title>iFrame Load POST</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="myiframe" src="load.php" width="0" height="0"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
What I need is to be able to send $_POST data, originally sent from a form in another page, to the iframe and redirect the page after the iframe has loaded and processed the post data.
---- EDIT ----
In fact, it doesn't need an iframe, but I still need to do a post call to load.php and wait for it to load in order to make the redirect. I cannot redirect before the load.php has finish loading the request. That's why I was using the iframe method and previously using GET instead of POST.

Can someone please help?
Thank you!
Just use a jQuery AJAX call. It allows you to attach a handler that gets executed once the request finishes successfully.
$.ajax({
url: 'load.php',
data: {foo: 'bar'},
type: 'post', // you can use get if you want to.
success: function(response) {
window.location.replace('after.php');
}
});
