Add Static Form var to pass to .php

[JMair]

I'm trying to store a php variable in a html form (a static var) within a Joomla article. I dont think this is a Joomla problem as much as me not knowing how to store a value correctly.. Here is what I have on the html page....

 

 

<?php $varto = "myemail@domain.com";?>
<input type="hidden" type="text" name="email" value="$varto" <br />

 

I know I'm butchering the syntax somehow. I've searched for php form Value, Form Value, but havent been able to find the answer. Hope you guys can help me out..

 

Thanks!

Thank you kindly!

 

After trying it with Joomla the data passed was the string <?php echo $varto; ?> and not myemail@domain.com like I was hoping. maybe this is a Joomla thing. I'll pose the question over there.

 

Thanks again!
