if u want variables hidden, u can try POST.

the variables are read the same way by the script, but the form method
is changed to POST.

or you can use sessions. the variables are also hidden from the client
in a session. the variables are stored on the server in a file. check
session in the php manual

developing a desktop program involves a lot of overheads and
unneccessary software upgrades. using html, php and mysql is the best
options for a cheap and server based applications.
