Carrying over variables in form

hi folks, i hope someone could help me. i’m stuck on php. i’m not all familiar with php, so please bare with me as i ask this question…

I’m trying to carry over a variables from a form field using php. i have

<form action=“generated_page.php” method=“post” accept-charset=“utf-8”>
<input type=“text” value=“Text” name=“bb[name]”>
<input type=“submit” value=“display name”>

then on generated_page.php i have:

<p>Welcome <?= $bb-> name ?></p>

i can’t figure out how to display the name from the form field after i hit submit to add on the following page. can anyone help?

Use sessions. A quick search should give you an understanding of them.

Collect the textbox value in your “generated_page.php”.
Try [COLOR=“Red”]$name=$_POST[textbox name];[/COLOR]

Hope this works.
