How can PHP variables be properly passed from one page to another in a form submission?

When passing PHP variables from one page to another in a form submission, you can use hidden input fields within the form to store and transfer the values. This allows the variables to be included in the form data that is sent to the next page upon submission. By setting the value of the hidden input fields to the desired PHP variables, you can ensure that the data is successfully passed between pages.

<form action="next_page.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="variable1" value="<?php echo $variable1; ?>">
    <input type="hidden" name="variable2" value="<?php echo $variable2; ?>">
    <!-- Other form fields here -->
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
