Topic 5A

Hidden fields are fun... I kinda forgot to define the variables (shows what happens when you skip a few weeks between chapters).

5A done and dusted.

Done with 5A

Finally done... theoretically pretty tricky but in practise, it's a breeze

Done... Awesome but abit tricky

Done with this one.
<?php
$firstname=$_POST["firstname"];
$lastname=$_POST["lastname"];

echo "<input name='fname' type='hidden' value='$firstname'>";
echo "<input name='lname' type='hidden' value='$lastname'>";
?>

it is important to note that in lines 3 and 4 we are declaring two hidden input fields and at the sametime
assigning some values to them. These values are coming from our variables declared in lines 1 and 2 respectively.

Done 5A, found this task not to hectic...

OK Done I understand the role input type hidden in html form
