passing a variable

[Anon]

So I have images in an html page. I want to have users fill out a survey on each image. I have about 150 images so I don't want to write 150 surveys with the proper code corresponding to the image. So I have done this so far:

form method="post" action="index.php">
<input type="hidden" value="<?php $imagename = "whatever.jpg"; ?>" >

where the form processes index.php which is the actual survey, and sends whatever.jpg as the value for $imagename in the following hidden field in the survey:

<input type=hidden name="image" value="<?php print($imagename); ?>" >

Then whatever.jpg would be submitted to the database as the value for image.... this sounds good in theory but does not work. Can someone please help?

<input type="hidden" value="<?php $imagename = "whatever.jpg"; ?>" >

Your breaking into PHP, telling it that $imagename = "whatever.jpg"; and breaking out.

If yah look real close it is working fine :-)

What you need to do is after specify the varaible value you need to output it so it is writing in the HTML
like
<input type="hidden" value="<?php $imagename = "whatever.jpg";
print($imagename);
?>" >
that will make it look like
<input type="hidden" value="whatever.jpg" >
although I don't belive you can use a . in the name ( as IE Will tihnk your looking for
jpg's parent whatever.....maybe not specify the ext.
But anyways...after you set the value output it to the browser
