<input type="text" name="something" id="something" value="yourValue" />

You can't. HTTP does not allow it.

I'd save the variables in a $_SESSION variable (or array if you're
passing more than one set of values). eg:

$test = array('value_1'=>1.25, 'value_2'=>7.55, 'value_3'=>6.25);
$_SESSION['redirected_values'] = $test;

Do the redirect ...

Then read back your values:

$value_1 = $_SESSION['redirected_values']['value_1'
];

You can use CURL to construct and issue POST requests within your PHP
script.

Or perhaps you only want to convince the browser to resubmit a posted
form to a new location, in which case, you can use a status 307
Temporary Redirect.
