using html tags inside php

[blink359]

Hi there i was wondering how i would go about using html tags inside the php tags so i could put data from a database into a textarea / text input i had a go but had no such luck with this attempt:

<?php 

echo "Title:<br>";
echo "<input type="text" name="title" value="$row['Title']">";

?>

the code above is to give you an idea of what i want to do, if you can point me to any guides or show me how it will be greatly appriciated

 

Thanks,

You need to include \'s

 

	

echo "Title:<br>";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"title\" value=\"{$row['Title']}\" />";

OR a better solution is to use single quotes and use the dot operator to concatenate variables:

 

echo 'Title:<br>';
echo '<input type="text" name="title" value="' . $row['Title'] . '" />';

... OR .. of course the best solution would be to not echo out HTML at all:

 

Title:<br />
<input type="text" name="title" value="<?php echo $row['Title']; ?>" />
