Passing parameters between PHP and HTML

Question

I have "upload.php" page which consists of upload form and radio button form.

<html lang="en">
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="my_upload">1) Select a file to upload:</label>
<input id="my_upload" name="my_upload" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

<form action="./execute.php">
<input type="hidden" name="parameter"  value=" ? ">
<input type="radio" name="mode" value="one">one<br>
<input type="radio" name="mode" value="two">two<br> 
<input type="submit" value="Execute">
</html>

<?php
... php upload code ...
$parameter;

When I select file to upload and press button "Upload", php code on the same page "upload.php" starts running. After it finishes, I would like to take value "$parameter" and use it in html code on the same page, in next form with radio buttons. Is there a way to do this? Also, is there a way to get values/variables from "execute.php" after it is actually executed and use them on page "upload.php"?

Have you read this documentation on file uploading on the PHP website? https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php — Josef Engelfrost, Nov 09 '19 at 21:20
It is just an example, I am interested in variables/parameters, not in the actual upload itself. :) Thanks! — jurij, Nov 09 '19 at 21:22
No, sorry, it does not. The actual function of upload is not important in my question. — jurij, Nov 09 '19 at 21:26

@FunkFortyNiner No, I asked there about passing parameters in URL between different PHP pages. I am now interested in using/passing parameters between PHP and HTML on the same page. Thanks! — jurij, Nov 09 '19 at 21:33

Just place your php code above your html stuff:

<?php
... php upload code ...
$parameter;
?>

<html lang="en">
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="my_upload">1) Select a file to upload:</label>
<input id="my_upload" name="my_upload" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

<form action="./execute.php">
<input type="hidden" name="parameter"  value="<?php echo $parameter ?>">
<input type="radio" name="mode" value="one">one<br>
<input type="radio" name="mode" value="two">two<br> 
<input type="submit" value="Execute">
</form>
</html>

And close the second form with /form.
