<? echo "<input name='fax_update' type='text' value='$show['fax']"; ?>
What is wrong with this query string?
If I do this...it works
<? $fax_new = $show['fax']; echo "<input name='fax_update' type='text' value='$fax_new"; ?>
csh sez your short one quote...
You should use the complex syntax for strings, or:
<? echo "<input name='fax_update' type='text' value='" . $show['fax'] . "'"; ?>
i figured out what it was '$show[fax]' works instead of '$show['fax']'
$show[fax] is a bad idea.
Please look up Arrays and read the section about why.
Use {$show['fax']} in your echo statements.
