    <p>I am passing a hidden variable from HTML to a PHP page. In the PHP page I want to use that variable in my form.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $newVar=trim($_POST['newVar']); $subject = "new var is ---&gt; $newVar"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am not able to use <code>$newVar</code> in any <code>if</code> statement - it shows blank. If I try to echo <code>$subject</code>, it shows the value of <code>$newVar</code> but when I try to echo the value of <code>$subject</code> in any <code>if</code> statement it does not show me the value of <code>$newVar</code>.</p> <p><strong>My Code is:</strong> html markup is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="#" class="applyNow" onclick="document.sendVar.newVar.value='myVar'; document.sendVar.submit(); return false"&gt;New Variable&lt;/a&gt; &lt;form method="post" name="sendVar" action="test.php" style="display:none;"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="newVar" value=""&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Send form!"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $newVar=trim($_POST['newVar']); $subject = "new var is ---&gt; $newVar"; ?&gt; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { if(!isset($hasError)) { $from_add = "test@test.com"; $emailTo = 'shruti@example.com'; $headers = "From: $from_add \r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $from_add \r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: $from_add\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP \r\n"; mail($emailTo, $subject, $headers); // HERE in $subject.. value of newVar is not displaying $emailSent = true; } $from_add = "do-not-reply@example.com"; $headers = "From: $from_add \r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $from_add \r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: $from_add\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP \r\n"; } ?&gt; </code></pre>

    3. COwhat if statements are you using? it would be easier to debug if you could post the actual code you are using and then we can see what you are trying to do. Also, post the html markup for the hidden input aswell from your form page.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
