Can hidden fields in a form be accessed from other PHP files?

Hidden fields in a form can be accessed from other PHP files by using the $_POST or $_GET superglobals. To access the value of a hidden field in another PHP file, you need to make sure that the form is submitted and the hidden field is included in the form data. You can then retrieve the value of the hidden field using $_POST['hidden_field_name'] or $_GET['hidden_field_name']. 

// Form file (form.php)
<form method="post" action="process.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="hidden_field_name" value="hidden_field_value">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

// Processing file (process.php)
<?php
if(isset($_POST['hidden_field_name'])) {
    $hiddenFieldValue = $_POST['hidden_field_name'];
    echo $hiddenFieldValue; // Output: hidden_field_value
}
?>
