Markx Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi All I'm sure this is a very basic question, but I'm clueless on these things. I have a form that is generated from Google Checkout. The bit I'm struggling with is: <input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value""/> In the value field I need to return text and a string. I've tried this: <input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value="Payment for within the $loc area."/> ...but it just comes back as text. Any help would be much appreciated.

Daniel0 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 How exactly doesn't that work? You might want to do <?php echo $loc ?> instead of just $loc.

Markx Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Daniel Unfortuantely that's not got it either. If you have a look at http://www.ignitiondrivingschool.com/onlinepayment2/warwick and click the first google checkout item, under the Item section, it should read Hourly lessons taken with Ignition Driving School within Warwick the area. ...where warwick is generated from the $loc.

Markx Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 ...sorry forgot to mention I'm using including it in a .tpl file.

gevans Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It's not parsing as php. Change your extension from .tpl to .tpl.php and include that Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144325-solved-form-value-string/#findComment-757438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

premiso Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Post more code. There are a few different reasons this can be happening. And without the code you get guessed answers.

premiso Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 One single quotes interpret the $ literally, so it is print "$loc", you want to use double quotes. If this is a template, it seems like you need to make $loc into a template variable and call it with {loc}.
