You absolutely can  I use this approach a lot w  both JavaScript and PHP   Field definition    lt input type  hidden  name  foo  value   lt  php echo  var   gt     gt    Access w  PHP     GET  foo   or   POST  foo     Also  Don t forget to sanitize your inputs if they are going into a database   Feel free to use my routine  https   github com niczak PHP-Sanitize-Post blob master sanitize php  Cheers

Can I use a field of the type     and retrieve it after the GET   POST method       Yes  haven t you tried       Are there any other ways of using hidden fields in PHP    You mean other ways of retrieving the value  No  Of course you can use hidden fields for what ever you want     Btw  input fiels have no end tag  So write either just  lt input     gt  or as self-closing tag  lt input      gt

Yes  you can access it through GET and POST  trying this simple task would have made you aware of that     Yes  there are other ways  one of the other  preferred  ways is using sessions  When you would want to use hidden over session is kind of touchy  but any GET   POST data is easily manipulated by the end user  A session is a bit more secure given it is saved to a file on the server and it is much harder for the end user to manipulate without access through the program
