PHP passing variable to next script

[scriggs]

I have a script which generates a drop down list box from an ODBC datasource. When you select an item from the list it queries the data and displays name, address, etc. It receives the selected item via

$valid_cust = $_POST['custname'];

I then need to pass this on to another script by pressing another button. How can I pass this item on again. I tried including the data in a hidden field on the form but it doesn't seem to work.

<?php
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"custname\" value=\"$valid_cust\">";
?>

<form action="feesmerge.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
template: <input type="file" name="template" /><input type="submit" name="mergeSubmit" value="Submit" />
</form>

When I click the button and run feesmerge.php I recieve the error

"Notice: Undefined index: custname in c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\php\feesmerge.php

on line 27"

Any help please...

Solved it myself - put the hidden field outside the form, didnt I?!?!

I'm glad I checked your response before I posted. That was going to be my suggestion.
