ECHO " " and HTML

[friedstingray]

I made the following hidden form...

the problem is that when ever the page is display, it will have "> in the page..

what is wrong and why is the "> displayed?

echo " <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenField\" id=\"cpu_id\" value\"<?=$cpu_id?> \"> ";

echo "<input type=hidden name=hiddenField id=cpu_id value=".$cpu_id.">";

thanks

change to this

echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenField\" id=\"cpu_id\" value=\"$cpu_id\">";

because you are already in PHP-Mode, you don't need to use the <?=$cpu_id?> method to output the variable value. Alternatively, you could use

?>  // exit php-mode and go html-mode
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenField" id="cpu_id" value="<?=$cpu_id?>">
<?php // get back into php-mode
