$filename = "pages/news.php";

<?php print '<input type="text" name="this_box" value"'.$your_string.'">';

it just diplays the actual code as html not as text in text box.

please help thanks

fd = fopen($filename, "r") or die ("cannot read $filename");
$txtbox = fread($fd, filesize($filename));

echo("<html>");
print '<input type="text" name="this_box" value"'.$txtbox.'">';

echo("</html>");

sorry forgot to put the = after the value...

<?php print '<input type="text" name="this_box" value="'.$your_string.'">';

if you want to display large blocks of code it may be easier to use a textarea...

<?php print '<textarea cols="80" rows="8" name="this_box">'.$your_string.'</textarea>';

thanks for the help !!! i thought it had something to do with value !!! but when you run the text box under html you actually get value='' !!! so thats where i went wrong. PARSE THROUGH PHP !!!!

thanks for the help, i think its weird how the code still executes even when i missed the = out of the value statement 😃 :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
