Database value inserted into form?

Oni

Heyas...

I have a simple form--

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="username" VALUE="Brin">

Before this form I have a few database selections... So that when I execute

echo $result['id'];

I get a number. I want to put this number after the "Brin" So... If number is 2 then

Brin + "2" = Brin2...

192 + "2" = 1922

I'd also like to be able to do this the other way around...like

"2" + 234 = 2234

but that's probably the opposite of the where the variable is put if I get a reply back...

I think all I have to do is play around with the " and ' but... is my id variable going to be just $result? Or..?

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="username" VALUE="Brin<?php echo $result['id']; ?>">

ugghh another problem I've seen to run into...
I have around 12 lines of html code and I tried to put them all in one

print " <code> "

but that didn't seem to work so I not put echo's...

echo "<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://domain.com/new/signup.php">\n";

and a few lines like that...

But I get

Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or';'' in c:\apache\htdocs\smileinj\final.php on line 35

when executed? What am I missing??

Oni

I put the /n in there because I was doing that by looking at some other code which I found html in php integration.

Oni

I wait 🙂

echo '<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://domain.com/new/signup.php">' . "\n";

Oni

Didn't work??

I still get the same error...
Thanks for the post tho 😉

Oni

hmmm

wreed

echo "<FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"http://domain.com/new/signup.php\">\n";

Make sure all double quotes has a \ before them.

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in c:\apache\htdocs\smileinj\final.php on line 36

Line 36:

echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"HIDDEN\" NAME=\"username\" VALUE=\"Brin<?php echo $result['id']; ?>\">\n";

echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"HIDDEN\" NAME=\"username\" VALUE=\"Brin<?php echo $result['id']; ?>\">\n";

I think it's because I have an echo inside an echo...But I need them both?!

Yes, that is the problem. You have an echo in an echo...


echo '<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="username" VALUE="Brin' . $result['id'] . '">' . "\n";

Oni

Everythings fixed....

Thanks you two!!

Hope it doesn't cause any problems...

never causes problems, I am glad it works!

Here is another way where you jump in and out of PHP.

?>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="username" VALUE="Brin<?=$result['id']?>"> 
<?
