in thread Passing a form parm and a url reference to a different script

It makes sense that the second script would be able to get the user id from the remote_user() since it is handled by the server. However could you please explain what a less dangerous way to pass 2 variables to a different script would be. I am not understanding how the hidden form element works.

    hidden form elements are simply not shown to the user although he can open the source and find them. You can use them like nomal <input>-field except that their type=hidden.
    The normal and less dangerous way is to save the data you've got (maybe into a database (mark the entry it temporary) or a temporary file) and reread the data in the second script.
