Solution

  • You can add hidden fields within HTML and access them in PHP:

    <input type="hidden" name="myFieldName" value="someValue"/>

    Then in PHP:

    $val = $_POST['myFieldName'];

    If you're going to ouput this again you should use htmlspecialchars or something similar to prevent injection attacks. 

    <input type="hidden" name="myFieldName" value="<?=htmlspecialchars($_POST['myFieldName']);?>"/>
