give hidden formfield a value from a variable?

[supinum]

hi!
I want to give the hidden field in my form a value from another document (id.php). Is it possible?
I tried this a couple of times but with no success. How could it be done?

----id.php----
<?php
$name = "David";

?>

-----form.php----
<?php require_once('id.php'); ?>

<form...>
<input type= "hidden" name="from" value="<?php $name?>">
...

</form>

Don't worry,
you have simply lost a "=" :

<input type= "hidden" name="from" value="<?=$name?>">

that is for

<input type= "hidden" name="from" value="<?php echo $name;?>">

Ok here you have to change something this is your code
<input type= "hidden" name="from" value="<?php $name?>">

This is mua
<input type= "hidden" name="from" value="<?=$name?>">
