Hi. That's easy. Check this code:

<form action="next_script.php" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="usernname" />
  <input type="submit" value="OK" />
</form>

This form will send a variable "username" to script "next_script.php" using POST. POST means that you do not see the variables and it is more secure; if you use GET, you'll see them, e.g.

next_script.php?username=joe

I prefer POST.

Yea i no that but i wnt is so when they click the submit buttin they get transfered to another page

he just told you how. next_script.php would be the page that your form would POST to. since the form action is next_script.php when the submit button named "OK" is hit it would take you to next_script.php.

<form action="next_script.php" method="post">

and the rest would be this. like MaRmAR said above...

 <input type="text" name="usernname" />
 <input type="submit" value="OK" />
</form>
