Putting SQL information into a HTML/PHP form - php

Question

I've been having a rather irritating issue regarding capturing SQL information and then placing it into a PHP form (in theory, it should be kinda easy).
Here's the code for the SQL database information:
<?
$select = "SELECT * FROM beer WHERE country_id = 3";
$data = mysql_query($select) or die("Unable to connect to database.");
while($info = mysql_fetch_array($data)) {
echo '<center>';
echo '<h2>'.$info['name'].'</h2>';
echo '<table style="padding:0px;"><tr>';
echo '<tr><td><b>ABV%:</b></td><td width="570">'.$info['abv'].'</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td><b>Bottle Size:</b></td><td width="570">'.$info['bottleSize'].'</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td><b>Case Size:</b></td><td width="570">'.$info['caseSize'].'</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td><b>Price:</b></td><td width="570">$'.$info['price'].'</td>';
echo '</tr></table>';
echo '</center>';
echo '<br/>';
echo '<img src="" border="0"><br><br>';
echo '<form name="cart" method="post" action="cart.php"> <table border="0"> <tr>';
echo '<td><input type="hidden" name="bname" value="'.$info['name'].'"><input type="hidden" name="price" value="'.$info['price'].'"></td>';
echo '<td><b>Quantity:</b></td>';
echo '<td><input type="text" name="qty" size="3"></td>';
echo '<td><input type="submit" value="Add to Cart" a href="cart.php?name=foo&price=bar" /a></td>';
echo '</tr></table></form>';
}
?>
I want when the submit value is pressed to somehow transmit the price, quantity and name to a basic HTML form (so that all the user has to do is add name, address, etcetc). I am completely stumped on how to do this.
If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.

As you mentioned Amazon checkout, here is one thing you probably don't understand.
Amazoin doesn't use the form to move items data between server and browser to and fro.
It is stored in a session on a server time. All you need is some identifier put into hidden field.
To use a session in PHP you need only 2 things:
call session_start() function before any output to the browser on the each paghe where session needed.
Use `$_SESSION variable.
That's all.
Say, page1.php
<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['var'] = value;
and page2.php
<?
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['var'];

You wrote that code? because it's simply the same code as here.
You'll need to write an HTML form in your cart.php file
and use the $_POST variable to show the values of the price , quanitity and name.
For example:
<form method='post'>
<input type='text' name='price' value='<?=$_POST['price']?>'>
<input type='text' name='quanitity' value='<?=$_POST['qty']?>'>
