Hi I think it woulf be better this way:

        print "<form action = '$PHP_SELF?action=1' method = 'post'     name = 'hello'>";
        print "<input type='text' name='var_hello'>";
        print "<input type  = submit value = 'Submit' >";
 

and, the var name is $var_hello

this way, the value of your var do not appear in the URL,

This work for me...

Here is a simple form file that needs to pass a variable - $hello - from
the form to a new function. Unfortunately, it doesn't.  When you click
the submit button, the URL looks like this:

     http://localhost/test5.php?action=1&hello=

     It should have the variable there after the "hello="

I suspect it's something to do with parent.location. Looking for a
solution. Here's the script:

     <head>
     </head>
     <body bgcolor=white>
     <?
     define(INITIAL_PAGE,0);
     define(SELECT,1);
     function initial_page(){
        global $PHP_SELF,$hello;
        print "<form action = '$PHP_SELF?action=1' method = 'post'
     name = 'hello'>";
        print "<input type='text' name='hello'>";
        print "<input name = 'hello' type='button' value='Submit'
     >";

        print "</form>";
     }

     function select(){
        global $hello;
        print "Hellooooooooooo, $hello!";
     }

     initial_page();

     switch($action){
      case INITIAL_PAGE:
        initial_page;
        break;
      case SELECT:
        select();
        break;
      default:
        die ("Hello, can't find that function.");
     }
     ?>
     </body>
     </html>

The thing is that if you simply hit "enter" - rather than click the
"submit" button, the first directive in the <form> tag is invoked, and
the value of the $hello variable IS passed.
