I have a hidden <input> field and im trying to get its value with PHP and display it for testing purposes but PHP won't display its value. How is this achieveable?

NOTE: Some things where left out for brevity, for example the submit button.

<form id="registerForm" method="post" onsubmit="return validateRegistration(this)" action="">
<input type="hidden" id="validatedFirstName" value="false" />
</form>

<?php
$validatedFirstName = $_POST['validatedFirstName'];
echo "Validated First Name: " .$validatedFirstName;
?>
 
The browser identifies form elements by their name="" attribute.

<input type="hidden" id="validatedFirstName" name="validatedFirstName" value="false" />

But, then again, that's probably something you'd want to send though sessions...
