script 1 receives the value of $codename from previous scripts - ultimately from user input. So in script 1, I can't hard-code the value as "blah". Should have mentioned that before.
Up to now, I've been using <input type = 'hidden' name = 'codename' value='$codename'>
This works fine for passing the value of $codename from script to script. But the script in question - script 1 - has to pass the value of $codename into a function, which in turn passes the value to script 2. Script 2 accesses a db and prints out records containing codename = 'blah'.
Thanks, Robbie

Script 1: <form name="myform" method="post" action="script2.php"> <input type="hidden" name="codename" value="blah"> ...other form stuff as necessary... </form>
Submit the form.
Script 2: Access the data passed in the hidden field as $_POST["codename"].
For example, echo $_POST["codename"];

Hi,
Say I have a script that knows the value of a variable $codename.
The script contains a function that needs to know the value of $codename.
What is the syntax for passing the parameter to the function?
Example: the script knows that $codename = blah. The function has to pass 'blah' on to another script as a hidden value in a form using the POST method. The other script is not receiving the value of $codename.
Thanks for any help. Robbie
