value in a submit button

[eaglewingmd]

I feel like this is right under my nose but I can't grab it. Is there a way to take the variable $grandtotal and put it in an image submit button for ...name = amount value = $grandtotal. I tried several things, 1 was value = "<?$grandtotal?>" another was to try and convert all the HTML to PHP. This is to be used with Paypal and in the first example the button worked but did not give an amount.
Does PHP have a submit button?

Try value="<?=$grandtotal;?>"

<?
print("<input type=\"submit\" name=\"total\" value=\"$grandtotal\">);
?>

Nope, that produced an error message. So I dropped the = and it still did not work. Then I moved the top form tag to the include all my PHP and still does not pick up the info.

This solution, when put in this way causes an error on the line following it. Is my syntax wrong?

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[e-mail]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="test">

<?
print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"amount\" value=\"$grand\">);
?>

<input type="image" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>

There is a missing quote in the print line.
change it to this..
print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"amount\" value=\"$grand\">");

That is valid syntax, it works for me.
