PHP Form

[sseeley]

Hi I am hoping someone can help me.  I need to insert a string as the default value in a form?  I cannot get it to work at the moment?  The example I am wokring with is below.

 

$userID = "test";

echo "<tr>";

echo "<td align=\"right\" height=\"10px\" width=\"100px\" style=\"font-family:arial; font-weight:normal; font-stretch:wider; font-size:11px; text-color:black;\">id</td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"id\" size=\"7\" disabled value=$userID></td>";

echo "</tr>";

 

Many thanks in advance.

echo "</tr>";

You still need the "..." with php stuff sometimes.

Not with "php stuff sometimes".  php has nothing to do with it.  You need it for your html form to recognize it 'sometimes.'  php will parse it and send results to the browser, so it's your browser deciding what to do with this:

 

... value=test ...

 

vs.

 

... value="test" ...
