What does input type="hidden" mean?
- Thread starter Beng79
- Start date
If you are using a web form, then you can use the input type=hidden to send a variable when you submit a form, but that variable is not shown on the form.
So on screen you would get a box for the text part of the form and a submit button.
When you press submit the variable $_GET['ONE'] would contain HELLO annd $_GET['TWO'] should contain whatever you placed in thhe text box on the form. The sending of the variable ONE is hidden to the user of the web form.
Hope this helps.

Code:
<FORM METHOD="GET">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="ONE" VALUE="HELLO">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="TWO">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT>
</FORM>When you press submit the variable $_GET['ONE'] would contain HELLO annd $_GET['TWO'] should contain whatever you placed in thhe text box on the form. The sending of the variable ONE is hidden to the user of the web form.
Hope this helps.
