Passing Values With Forms

[JackD]

Is there a way to pass the value of a variable in $_POST? I have tried the following code:

$Pickup=4;
...
<form>
....
<input type=hidden name="OT" value=intval($Pickup)>
</form>

However, $_POST['OT'] is passed as "intval(\$Pickup". If I change the line to be:

<input type=hidden name="OT" value="$Pickup">

it passes "\$Pickup". If I leave off the double quotes, it passes the same value. Is there a way so it will pass the value 4?

<?php

<form action="mypage.php" method="post">
<input type=hidden name="OT" value="<?php echo intval($Pickup); ?>">
</form>
