Inserting PHP into the 'value' of a form

[Anon]

Hi -

I'm creating a feedback form where I would like to have the subject field of a form generated by php. ie the user enters all the other fields, but the subject would be relevent to the page currently generated. The code I have looks like this:

<input type="text" name=PackageName value=<?PHP printf("%s", $myrow["name"]); ?> size="30">

This actually works, except it only show as much text in the 'name' field before a space - for example, if the 'name' is "Classy Buenos Aires", when the form is generated, all that you see is "Classy"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gordon

check the source of the html page that is being created. it looks like the whole name should be displayed, however due to the fact that you arent putting the name in quotes, the browser only sees the first word. (ex: value=Classy Buenos). you can fix that by simply putting a quote bevore and after the php block. (ex: value="<? .... ?>")

Gordon,

Use the quotation marks like Mark mentioned... However, I also have to point out that you should be using the ECHO command - it is much easier:

echo $myrow['name']

BTW - you don't need double-quotes around a string value unless you want the contents of the string to be parsed for PHP variables, etc. - so use single-quotes unless necessary.

Cheers to both of you - works perfectly now...
