Store data in a hidden form field.
Parameters
$name: The internal name used to refer to the field.

Return value
A themed HTML string representing the hidden field.
This function can be useful in retaining information between page requests, but be sure to validate the data on the receiving page as it is possible for an attacker to change the value before it is submitted.
