NYCPHP Meetup

[SolTek]

Sorry to stir up such a debate earlier, but I still do need help. :-)
Maybe someone can assist me. I'm actually just learning PHP and was 
hoping to concentrate on that before learning anything else. But it 
seems I may not have a choice.

I'm thinking this can only be done with JavaScript, but maybe I'm wrong.

Is there a way I can get form values that are on the same html page as a 
form but outside of the form tags, and then pass them along with the 
rest of a forms values when a submit button of a form is clicked? The 
page must contain multiple forms. Each form will contain different 
hidden values and a submit button.  The form values outside of the form 
tags will be associated with every form on the page which is why they 
must also be sent along with the rest of the particular form's hidden 
values.  To help illustrate this I've included and commented the HTML 
code I'm using below.

Many thanks to anyone who could help out!

<p>STEP 1. ENTER YOUR DOMAIN NAME:
<!-- These values are associated with every form below -->
<input type="hidden" name="OptionName" value="Domain">
<input type="text" name="OptionValue" size="25"></p>

<p>STEP 2. CHOOSE A PLAN:</p>
<!-- Each plan must be in it's own individual form tags -->
<form action="https://domain.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

				<input type="hidden" name="item" value="PA03">
				<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="74.85">
