form test boxes

[mrtaus]

Hi

I am building a login page in php. I am trying to run a section of code which auto fills in name and email boxes if there is form errors (ie selected username exist already), but the code I have just enters value="variable" as text after the test box rather than in the text box... code sample is below.... any ideas

<input name="firstname" type="text" id="firstname"><?php if(isset($POST["firstname"])) { print "value=\"$POST[firstname]\""; }?>

That value is not inside the <input> tag:

<input name="firstname" type="text" id="firstname"<?php if(isset($_POST["firstname"])) { print " value=\"$_POST[firstname]\""; }?>>

But the easier way is this(you dont have to check that the $POST['firstname'] is set. If its not set it prints nothing):

<input name="firstname" type="text" id="firstname" value="<?=$_POST['firstname']?>">
