Help me - simple problem.

Hi all,
I think this will be a simple problem.
Script below checks for session, if found, I want it to display a text box with the email address in.
I have called the db and that all works, I can diaply it to the screen and that works, but I cannot display the email address in the text box like I want to!

How do I do it, I am getting all sorts of error messages, mainly relating around using the <html> tag in my script.

Friday afternoon, and I need to get this finished, all help appreciated..

Here's the script...

<?
session_start();

if (!session_is_registered("SESSION"))
{
header("Location: /error.php");
exit();
}

$user=$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['SESSION_UNAME'];

$connection=mysql_connect('localhost','root');
mysql_select_db('reseller');

$userdata=mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select * from user where user ='$user'"));

$email=$userdata['email'];


<html>
<body>
First Name: <input type="text" name="first" value=($email)><br>

</body>
</html>
?>

Thanks

print "
<html>
<body>
First Name: <input type='text' name='first' value='$email'><br>

</body>
</html>
";

just add the echo and the end quote around the html stuff

$email=$userdata['email'];

echo "
<html>
<body>
First Name: <input type="text" name="first" value=\"$email\"><br>

</body>
</html>";
?>

Thanks MBK. 😃

Another question, should be simple again.

Do I have to define all my variables,

i.e $email=$userdata['email'];

before I can use them in my Html, or can I use

 <html>
<body>
First Name: <input type="text" name="first" value=$userdata['email']><br>

</body>
</html>

Please can someone let me know how to do it if possible.

Thanks

imo it makes things a little more readable and maintainable
