I have to post a value via “form post” and insert it into table, here is my code in both files: 

<html>
<body>
<table>
<form  enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] ?>  /contents/ad_posting_process_4.php" method="post">
<?php $cat_no = "101010"; ?>
<input type=hidden id="category" value=" <?php echo $cat_no; ?> ">  
<tr> <td>Sub Category: </td><td>    <input type=text id="sub_category" > </td>
<tr><td></td> <td><input type="submit" name="action" value="Post"></td></tr></tr>
</form>
</body></html>

here is ad_posting_4.php

<?php session_start();
include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/includes/conn.php");
$category = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['category']);
$sub_category = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['sub_category']);
echo "category=". $category; 
echo "sub_category=". $sub_category; ?>

No value sent through post.

where am I wrong?

    the input type needs to be enclosed in quotes ' and also have a name attribute, and not id.

    <input type='hidden' name="category" value=" <?php echo $cat_no; ?> " />  
<tr> <td>Sub Category: </td>
<td><input type='text' name="sub_category" > </td>
