How can the issue of variable passing using POST instead of GET be addressed when using ordinary links in PHP?

When using ordinary links in PHP, variables are typically passed through the URL using GET method. To address the issue of passing variables securely, especially sensitive information, it is recommended to use POST method instead. This can be achieved by creating a form with hidden input fields to pass the variables, and submitting the form using JavaScript when the link is clicked. 

<!-- HTML form with hidden input fields -->
<form id="hiddenForm" method="post" action="target_page.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="variable1" value="value1">
    <input type="hidden" name="variable2" value="value2">
</form>

<!-- JavaScript to submit the form when link is clicked -->
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('hiddenForm').submit();">Click here</a>
