I have a form that will be filled in by the user, I want to have access to

another variable that is not part of the form. this variable is used by a
routine when the form is "posted". Question - is the $_post[field name]
availble before the submit button is pushed, or is there another way to get
the contents of the field?
thanks, Milt
Use hidden, such as:
<input type="hidden" name="step" value="1">
After the form is posted, $_POST['step'] will = 1.
I use this technique all the time so that I can use the same script
to present different forms based upon which step in the form
processing the user is on (i.e., step=1, step=2, step=3 and so on).
Cheers,
