i think i didn't understand but i try...

<? $yourVar = "FOO"; ?>
<input type="text" value="<?echo $yourVar;?>" name="da">

or if you want force some value when you submit...

<script language="javascript">
   function zzz() {
      // force some value if empty
       if(document.formi.da.value.length == 0) {
           document.formi.da.value = <? echo $yourVar;?>
       }
   document.formi.submit();
   }

</script>

<forn name="formi" action="act.php">
<input type="text" name="da" value="">
<input type="button" name="xx" value="SUBMIT" onclick="javascript:zzz();">
</form>
