Load Variables into form

[Ben Phelps]

Is there a way to load variables into a html form from a config file.

Is this what you are asking ? ?

[code]

<?php // e.g. this is the config file included by: require("config.php");

$var = "value";

?>


<form>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $var; ?>" />
</form>

[/code]

</table>[/code]

Here are the Variables
[code]
<?php
$lang = 'english';
$is_installed = 'YES';
$scripturl =  'http://osphp.net/XFH/';
$ScriptTitle = 'XtraFileHostDemo';
$maxfilesize = '5.5';
$deleteafter = '15';
$downloadtimer = '5';
$emailoption = 'true';
$descriptionoption = 'true';
$short_url = 'false';
$adminpass = 'password';
?>[/code]

The solution IS my previous post, as long as your form page is a php file you can include the config file on top and echo $variables as values where you want them.

[Ben Phelps]

<option value="english" selected="selected">English</option>
is now my problem, idk how to add the selected="selected" to the <option> for the value in the config file

[alpine]

See if you get this examples:
[code]

<?php

// example email

$eml_list = "";
$eml_options = array("true"=>"Yes","false"=>"No");
foreach($eml_options as $key => $value)
{
if($emailoption == $key) $selected_eml = "selected=\"selected\""; else $selected_eml = "";
$eml_list .= "<option value=\"$key\" $selected_eml>$value</option>";
}

echo <<<_HTML

<select name="email" id="email">
$eml_list
</select>

_HTML;


// example language

$lang_list = "";
$lang_options = array("english","french","german","italian","portugese","russian","spanish","hacker");
foreach($lang_options as $key)
{
if($lang == $key) $selected = "selected=\"selected\""; else $selected = "";
if($key == "hacker") $name = "H4X0R"; else $name = ucfirst($key);
$lang_list .= "<option value=\"$key\" $selected>$name</option>";
}

echo <<<_HTML

<select name="lang" id="lang">
$lang_list
</select>

_HTML;

?>

[/code]
