populated filed

[cspgsl]

I have a field in a form that I want to populate with suggested content that the user could either use, edit or delete and insert their own details.
The user will have logged on via a username and password.
Once the user finishs editing the content I want it to appear as the edited version the next time he/she opens that page.
Can someone give me a thumbnail of the process needed to insert the text that I want to show when the user opens the page?
Thanks

pull the suggested value out of your db as a variable and do...

echo '<input type="text" name="name_of_field" value="' . $default_value . '">';
