No, in your first form you have code like

<?php
  if ((!isset($_POST)) || (!isset($_POST['foo']))) {
        $foo = <set default value here>;
  } else {
        $foo = $_POST['foo'];
  }
?>

<form method="post" action="form2.php">
  <input type="text" name=foo value="<?php echo $foo;?>" />
  ...
</form>

and in the second form you have:

<form method="post" action="form1.php">
  <input type="hidden" name=foo value="<?php echo $_POST['foo'];?>" />
  ...
</form>

Cheers, Greg.
