Dear Vaibhav,

can you provide some more details as to how you want to pass the information, 
i.e. through an http-GET or POST or directly from one Zope object to another.

Assuming you are posting from the form then anything in the request is 
directly visible in the page template request namespace

ie.

<form action="myTemplate">
<input type="text" name="user_name" value="vaibhav">
<input type="submit">
</form>

when submitted this will pass the variables to the page template

<html>
<body tal:define="user request/user_name | nothing">
<p tal:content="user"></p>
</body>
</html>

Please see the PageTemplate documentation and sign up to zpt at zope.org if you 
have more questions.
