Need help with textbox

[coldfiretech]

Okay so i have a basic community site.  I am setting up the modify profile page right now... On my page i have a bunch of text boxes and what not for them to insert their data into.. What i am trying to do is when there is already data in the database it will print the data from the field in the database into the text box.

Its an html page with php inside of it.. Tried this in html but it just prints the value in the box

 

<input type="text" name="name" value="'.$row['pi_first_name'].'" />

 

Any suggestions?

Does the file have a php or html extension? If it's HTML, then it's not going to work unless you set it up to.

 

If it's a PHP file, you need to open the php tags, like this:

 

<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $row['pi_first_name']; ?>" />

how would i go about getting it setup to work on an html page?

 

I already have this.. I just wrote this 5 mins ago and it works in php.. Can u show me how to do this in html with all of my textboxes that are already there???  I dont want to change anything asthetically.. Pretty new to web dev..  Im a vb dev jumping in to fill a position

.htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

You have to configure your .htaccess file.

 

You need to add this line to it:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

 

Beat to it.
