You have 3 most popular methods

i. Input type hidden

<input type='hidden' name='name' value='<?=$variabel?>'>

ii. Add on form GET method

<form action='site.php?xyz=<?=$variabel?>'>

</form>

iii. User $_SESSION

<?php $_SESSION['xyz'] = variabel; ?>

If you don't want the variable passed to be displayed, you can use a hidden input:

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $_GET['name'] ?>"/>

If you don't want to use any input, of course you can pass them in form action:

<form action="somewhere.php?name="<?php echo $_GET['name'] ?>" method="post">

Using GET method in forms is not recommended, maybe you want to use hidden inputs?

<form action='site.php' method='POST'>
  <input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?=$name_row['name']?>">
</form>

You can use it with GET too
