elabuwa Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hey guys, A noob needin your help. I searched the forum for similar threads but couldnt get any results. May be an incorrect use of keywords, if so please accept my apologies. And also please accept my apologies if i have posted in the wrong section. I have this html page designed with some text boxes etc. What I want it to do is when the page is loaded, the text boxes are supposed to be with some values. Best example is when you go to edit your profile in php freaks the email addy comes up automatically filled. Therefore, I have php runnin at two places in the page. At the top to get all the values from the database and to store them in php variables. And the second one below. <input type="text" name="acnum1" value="<?php echo $acnumber;?>" /> The problem is that the page loads with out any errors. But instead the text box having only the value of the $acnumber variable, the text box has the following text. "<?php echo $acnumber;?>" Can you guys please help me out. i think there is some syntax error or something like that but i googled and all the pages that show the example codes contain the same method. I tried runnin it on another comp that has php server runnin but gave me the same problem. THanks a million in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 1. Do you have this page saved with a .php extension or a .htm(l) extension 2. Are you SURE that php is installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 By default php needs to be served within files ending with the .php extension. html files do not (by default) get parsed by the php parser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
