Passing data in forms

[Julzzey]

Hi,

I know this is easy, but I can't get my code to accept hidden variables. I have the following form that I thought would pass the value of name to the form.

<form method=POST action=&quot;<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>?action=insert&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;$name&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;address&quot; value=&quot;$address&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>

I output $name to the screen before I submit and it's correct, but when I get to the next form (which is in the same script) it can't find that value. Is there a certain way to retrieve hidden data?

Thanks!!

I don't know if this is right, but have a look at what $_REQUEST does, it might work for you.

Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

Thanks...you know I tried $_REQUEST and many other things...sometimes I think code is possessed!!! I got it to work though. I put it inside of the php and used an echo and off it went just fine.

Thanks!!!
