echo variable incorrect

himnbandit

code:
....

print($account);

echo'
<br>
<p class="style2">Add New Users </p>

<form method="post" action="nuser.php">

 <input type=hidden name="data_1" value="'.$account.'">

.... more form....

the print($account) prints out the correct value but when i call

$_POST['data_1'] in nusers.php

i get zero every time... whats happening?

Have you tried looking at the code in the form to make sure that the hidden variable is being set?

Also, don't forget quotes around "hidden".

i changed it to readonly = "readonly" instead of hidden and it prints it out in the html correctly - but it sill inputs it to the database as zero.

so:

and it prints out the right value but when its recieved by nuser its value is zero

What does the other code look like? It almost seems like you are missing an "=" sign and instead of comparing (==) you are actually setting (=) the variable.
