ECHO truncated in Form Than Remembers

[Anon]

At wit's end because this should work and has worked before. I learned the trick of creating a "form that remembers" using echo, but it always truncates to the first word.

Usage:

<input type=text name="CITY" size="20" value=<? echo("$CITY"); ?>>

If someone enters "New York" as the city it only echos back "New"

Any ideas?

Thanks!

<input type="text" name="CITY" size="20" value="<?= $CITY ?>">

Thanks ... it works perfectly!

Any idea why the ECHO doesn't work in this case, or is it just one of those things I have to remember?
