[RESOLVED] Can i Set the value of a text input field using a variable?

[loci]

Is it possible to do something like this?:

<input type="text" maxlength="10" length="15"  value= some_string_returning_function($value)  />

I am trying to send a form back to the user for him/her to correct a field,
but i want the other fields (already validated) to still have what he had previously entered in them.

Please feel free to be generous with your suggestions, your time is greatly appreciated.

Yes.

There are a number of sylistic choices you have. Among them:

<input type="text" name="example" value="<?php echo some_function($value); ?>">
...or...
<?php
printf("<input type='text' name='example' value='%s'>\n", some_function($value));
?>
...or...
<?php
echo "<input type='text' name='example' value='".some_function($value)."'>\n";
?>
...or...
<?php
$val = some_function($value);
echo "<input type='text' name='example' value='$val'>\n";
?>
