RE: [PHP] hidden form field.

I'll give you an example of it's use: You have a submission form where you need to confirm: you have a form on page 1: field 1... field 2... field 3... and submit button.. When people submit the data it goes to page 2 where a loop will take all that, create a hidden forms and will also list the data submitted as text so you can ask the user: "are you sure this info is correct?" If not they click back-button and if yes they continue clicking submit again and at that point all these hidden fields are going into your database. Hope it explains you a bit.

Hello list, Can someone please explain to me in simple terms. What the exact reason is for putting hidden form fields into an html document that uses PHP to connect to a mySQL db .. or any db for that matter. I have looked around and have not gotten a good clear answer? Thanks.
