[miles_rich]

how can i get a txt box to take a value of a variable??

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

or

echo "<input type=text value=$variable_name>";

To avoid grief in the future, make sure you use quotes where required:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo $variable_name?>">

... and make sure that quotes in your variable don't break the html, maybe?

<input type="text" value="<?php print addslashes($variable_name); ?>">
