I have a form(like the one below for example) where I type data, but I also want to send data which are not directly entered by the user, for example a generic Id(for a user in this case)
<form name="input" action="" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Don't know if I have been clear enough, I hope so.
Answer
try a hidden input:
<input type="hidden" value="foo" name="user_id" />
The user can't see it, but remember that such inputs can be spoofed and need to be validated on the server just like any other input.
