Using dreamweaver 8, I am passing the session variable of username from page to page on my website. I would like to put it as a hidden field in a form, but I can't get the code right. Can someone help with the code that would put the variable in the form as a value in a field to be transferred to a database.

Thanks anyone who can help.

HI
something like this . . . .


<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> &lt;input type="hidden" name="usename" value="&lt;?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?&gt; /&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>

that should put it into the field, you could also just use the session variable without passing it through the form, that way it does not get exposed in the code that can be viewed
