title: Passing hidden values, html
body: <p>I have a the following php file. displayitems.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
       *
       *
       *
     echo "&lt;form action='http://retailthree.nn4m.co.uk/alex/add_data.html'&gt;";
     echo   "&lt;input type='hidden' name='value' value='$value'/&gt;";
     echo   "&lt;button type='submit'&gt;Add&lt;/button&gt;";
     echo "&lt;/form&gt;";
   ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the html file. add_data.html:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;form method="post" name="form"&gt;            
          &lt;table id="mytable" border="1"&gt;
              &lt;tr&gt;
                  &lt;td&gt;Trend &lt;input type="text" name="trend" size="20"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                    //many other fields
              &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;/table&gt;
    &lt;/forn&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the aforementioned html will perform an action on a php file.
  However that I want to achieve is to pass the hidden data ->$value from the first php file, to the Trend input box(to print the $value content to the input box). Is this possible?</p>
