Maybe a little late to the party but why don't you use sessions to store your data?

bookingfacilities.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['form_date'] = $date;

successfulbooking.php

session_start();
$date = $_SESSION['form_date'];

Nobody will see this.

You should never assume register_global_variables is turned on. Even if it is, it's deprecated and you should never use it that way.

Refer directly to the $_POST or $_GET variables. Most likely your form is POSTing, so you'd want your code to look something along the lines of this:

<input type="hidden" name="date" id="hiddenField" value="<?php echo $_POST['date'] ?>" />

If this doesn't work for you right away, print out the $_POST or $_GET variable on the page that would have the hidden form field and determine exactly what you want and refer to it.

echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";

I'm not sure what you just did there, but from what I can tell this is what you're asking for:

bookingfacilities.php

<form action="successfulbooking.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="date" value="<?php echo $date; ?>">  
    <input type="submit" value="Submit Form">
</form>

successfulbooking.php

<?php
    $date = $_POST['date'];
    // add code here
?>

Not sure what you want to do with that third page(booking_now.php) too.

You have to use $_POST['date'] instead of $date if it's coming from a POST request ($_GET if it's a GET request).
