Using hidden fields

[fisicx]

Probably a very simple solution but my iffy programming skills can't solve it.

I have a form with a hidden field that contains the email subject:

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value"some text string">

When is process the form I want to pick up the variable and use it when I send the email.

I'm using:

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

then after validation:

mail("[e-mail]", $subject , $message, "From: [e-mail]" );

$subject isn't getting picked up and processed.

What's missing?

Please ignore, the more astute among you will already have spotted the missing =.

This was my senior moment of the day.

[halojoy]

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

this is correct

So, the issue is most probably in your <form>
These are things that need to be:
form method="post"

<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="some text string">
<input type="submit">
</form>
