Can't Override the Default Value of the Textbox

[makamo66]

I have an html textbox that was written like this:

 

echo "<b>Quantity:</b> <input type=\"text\" name=\"qtyBox\" value=\"1\" size=\"1\" />";

 

When the form is submitted I collect the value of the textbox like this:

 

$_SESSION['qtyBox'] = $_POST['qtyBox'];

$qtyBox = $_SESSION['qtyBox'];

echo $qtyBox;

 

The problem is that no matter what I type into the text box, the value is echoed out as 1. If I leave the value blank and type a number into the box, I get a blank too.
