PHP to HTML Form

[jengel]

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear on what I'm trying to do.

I can read the file, no problem. What I want to do is to enter the data that I've read from the file into the form.

If I type the code <input type ="text" value = $PresidentName name = "presidentname"> it will put '$PresidentName in the box, not what it read from the file.

I can get the value $PresidentName with no problem, but how do I assign the data to the 'value' property of the form object?

Did I explain it better that way??

Thank.

You have to echo the variable into the html text:

<?
echo "<input type=text name=presidentname value=$presidentname>";
?>

OR

<input type=text name=presidentname value=<? echo $presidentname ?>>

OR

<input type=text name=presidentname value=<? = $presidentname ?>>

Thanks for the tip... It works great.
