Really Hidden Form Fields

[curtiss]

Is there any way to really hide form fields?

I am looking at passing some somewhat secure information back and forth between forms, and I would really love it if it were possible to pass them without the user being able to view the source and see the information.

If it's not possible to deeply hide form fields, is there some other way to invisibly pass information between multiple PHP pages?

If not, then can anyone point me toward some good resources on encryption? I would like to, at the very least, encrypt the password that I will be sending between the pages.

Sessions maybe?

Thanks Till. I'll look into that.

If anyone's interested, I uploaded a devvers' release of the CMS I'm working on. It doesn't contain any template layout at all, yet, so it's strictly for playing with installation/administration at the moment, and to allow some coders to pick apart my code. It can be found at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cagcms

Quick question about sessions (as I haven't found the info in my searches yet): When does a session end? Obviously I can set up a link to end the session (or log-out), but that isn't any different than a cookie, is it? If I navigate away from the page with the session, does that end the session?

The session ends when the user closes there brower. e.g. IE, Firefox etc.

If you trully want to securly pass data from page to page you will have to encrypt it and decrypt it durring every pass, or encrypt it and put it into a session variable and then decrypt when you want to use that information.
