Assist a newbie! I would like to create a function for text input and text area. I have the following code that generates the text field but it isn't sticky. <?php function create_text_field ($label, $name, $value){ echo '<label>'.$label .': </label>'; echo '<input type = "text" name ="'.$name.'" value = "'.$value.'"'; if(isset($_POST[$name])&&($_POST[$name]==$value)){ echo $_POST[$name]; } echo '/><br><br>'; } ?> The data doesn't stick... Please note that the value attribute code is inside <?php?> tags. I want to create a function that creates text field(s) that is (are) sticky I cannot place a php tag in the value attribute (since it is part of function statements) Please comment

Hello all, I have been searching for hours on google for answer but i couldnt find anything. So i have this "edit your post" form which is a set of text fields, text area, radio buttons and two datepicker calendar fields. I am getting the data from the MySql table to display it in these form fields and the submit button will simply fire Update query. But the problem is that when i add datepicker JQuery to this form, it does not display any values in the text fields from database but only in textarea box. Below is the JQuery script that i am using... <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" /> <script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script> <script src="js/ui/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(); $( "#datepicker2" ).datepicker(); }); </script> This is the form that is supposed to display values from database table. When i remove the above Javascript, it works. And when i use the above script, it shows values as Undefined for all the textfields. <form name="frmPost" method="post" action=""> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5"> <tr><td>Title : </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="txttitle" size="75" value="<?php echo $title; ?>"/></td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Description : </td></tr> <tr><td><textarea name="txtdescription" rows="10" cols="75" ><?php echo $description; ?></textarea></td></tr> <tr><td>Listing End date : </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="txtenddate" value="<?php echo $enddate; ?>" id="datepicker"/></td></tr> <tr><td>Project Completion Dead line : </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="txtdeadline" value="<?php echo $deadline; ?>" id="datepicker2"/></td></tr> <?php if($ptype=='w') { ?> <tr><td> <input type="radio" name="txttype" value="w" checked> Web Based <input type="radio" name="txttype" value="s">Desktop Based </td></tr> <?php } else if($ptype=='s') { ?> <tr><td> <input type="radio" name="txttype" value="w">Web Based <input type="radio" name="txttype" value="s" checked>Desktop Based </td></tr> <?php } else { ?> <tr><td> <input type="radio" name="txttype" value="w">Web Based <input type="radio" name="txttype" value="s">Desktop Based </td></tr> <?php } ?> <tr><td><input type="submit" name="btnupdate" value="Update" class="button" /></td></tr> </table> </form> I need some help in fixing this.
