What I had was the user clicking the submit button and it would be processed by another PHP file. If I wish to process it on the same page I understand that you use the isset function. However this will not work for me and with the submit button's action, what does that then become? <form action="check.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="country" value="<?php echo("$rnd") ?>"/> <input type="text" size="55" name="answer" value="" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <?php if (isset($_POST['submit']){ $userAnswer = $_POST['answer']; $rnd = $_POST['country']; $answer = $capitals[$rnd]; $userAnswerLower = strtolower($userAnswer); $answerLower = strtolower($answer); //echo("userAnswerLower: $userAnswerLower <br />"); if ($userAnswerLower == $answerLower) { echo("<h3>CORRECT, $answer is indeed the capital of $countries[$rnd]!</h3>"); } else { echo("<h3>INCORRECT, the capital of $countries[$rnd] is $capitals[$rnd]! </h3>"); } } ?>

[SOLVED] How to send a variable when sending a form

Thanks Grunshaw, that worked exactly like I wanted. I wasn't using PHP to echo the variable. -
[SOLVED] How to send a variable when sending a form

<input type="hidden" name="result" value="$rnd"/> -
A user fills out a couple of text fields and the form is submitted and I use $_POST to get those answer's. What I want to do is to send a variable (i.e. $dummy) from that form page to the page which will process the form (both are php). How would I go about this? I tried using a hidden text field although this did not work.
