bUcKl3 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I noticed that in some forms..like those in some forums. they have some <input type="hidden" stuff in the source code. I wonder what does that really do. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5786-form-hashing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gast Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 An input hidden field sends a value through the form but can't actually be seen in the browser. For example a common one used is the maximum file size handled by a file upload form. They are sometimes used for external forms that you can't control, like Paypal. You need to send your details through a form but not so you actually have to enter them in a form every time.
