I understand I can create a hidden field and set the value such that it gets the value from the database. What I would like to do though in order to reduce the number of database queries is to run 1 database query upon form loading. Save the results into an array and then use the items later on in the form. Problem I see is that if I use the php scripts section on form load the php variables I create are gone when I want to use them later in the form. For instance in a hidden field //<code>return $varFromDB; //</code> $varFromDB would have no value even though I assigned it one in the php scripts on form load section.

Is there a work around for this or a suggested way to carry information throughout the form, without running a new db query for each hidden field on the form?

Thanks so much.
