get variable to pass through form

[DomboCom]

I'm trying to pass keywords through a form. So if my link is httpx://mysite.com?t202kw=abc

I want 't202kw' variable to pass through and remain in the link on the next page (after the form is submitted). I think I can add this to my form:

<input type="hidden" name="t202kw" value="" />


But how do I grab the variable (abc) and enter it as the "value"? I tried using get with php, but that didn't seem to work.


thanks

did you try putting <?=$_GET['t202kw'];?> into the quoted area for value="" ?

Course that only works if the page that loaded the form got that in the url, but if it was in a url a few redirects before it could have gotten lost.

what does the generated source look like on the page (after the form is submitted)? Anything look out of place? Also, is the second page on a different server?

I'm a dumbass. I was trying to echo the value like
value="<?php $t202kw= $_GET['t202kw']; echo "$t202kw"; ?>"

Thanks kblessinggr. I'm keeping track of how many times I owe you.
