<body>
<?php
/*COMMENT: REPLACE $PHP_SELF WITH THE PAGE THAT YOU WANT TO PASS THE
VALUE TO*/
echo '<form name="first_form" action="'.$PHP_SELF.'">
Enter your string:<br>
<input type="text" name="my_string" value="">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>';

<?php
//create the global variable $my_string or you may get a warning
global $my_string;
?>
<head>
<title>the page that the form is on, receiving the string</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="whatever" action="WHATEVER.php">
<!--echo the $my_string variable in the value=""(comes from previous

<input type="text" name="the_string" value="<?php echo $my_string; ?>">
