No. HTTP requests are stateless, meaning they have no memory of what
requests happened before or after, or how those requests were made. PHP
does not affect that behaviour at all; it's entirely a matter of the
HTTP protocol.

If you want the POST variables to propogate to the redirected page, use
a session.
