Passing variables to a form =(

Let me start like this...

Another Website is sending passback variables to my webpage.

I have figured out how to capture these passbacks and display them to the Viewer of my Webpage using this code snippit:

<?php print $MyVariableHere; ?>

This is Great! however, I would like these variables to appear in form objects like text boxes instead of just plain text on the page. This saves the user of my site having to type that info into a form that I have set up.

ANY IDEAS?

Thanks,

Matt

in a text area:

<textarea name="thename" rows="5" cols="30"><?php print $MyVariableHere; ?>

in a text input:

<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php print $MyVariableHere;?>">

how about this?

if the variables are being passed as "GET" vars,

<input type="text" name="whatever" value="<?$HTTP_GET_VARS[variable_name]?>"

you'll have to backslash part of that, if you're not using templates.
