php with 2 forms

I have 2 forms; each has its own Post action. In both forms [say they are called form1 and form2], there is a field called ‘name’. After the post of form1, on the 2nd page I capture fields from the first page with statements like $name=$_POST['name']; - this works fine.   How do I get form2.name.value set to $name? When I try to set the value of form2's field called 'name' [value = $name] it treats $name as a literal string. {sorry for this explanation - I tried to insert a snippit which disappears in Preview.}
    

    Thank you.
