forms, hidden fields, and variables

[Dville]

so here's my code

http://www.phpfi.com/128426

you can see on line 50, from a cookie, a string is being put into the variable $username

also on line 96 i start a php form. What I would like to do is take $username, and put it into a hidden field, which i should be able to make hidden with
[code]<input type=hidden[/code]

but how can i insert $username into this field. i would use name=username so i can grab it from backend.php
could i do 'value=$username'?

thanks in advanced for anyone who can help.

You would do something like:
[code]<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $username ?>">[/code]
