micky1955 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 can anyone please tell me the correct way to pass on the value of a variable in a form?i need to pass the [i][b]value [/b] [/i] of $filmid - which can be string or integer to a script. The following code only passes the variable [i][b]name[/b][/i]. Have tried it in double quotes, single quotes and no quotes!<form etc. ><input type=hidden name="delid" value=$filmid)>Help please - i'm slowly going blind from reading tutorials and manuals! :'(Micky Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28576-passing-variables-in-a-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkcarnival Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 try this:[code]<input type="hidden" name="delid" value="$filmid">[/code]btw, you have to echo with double quote and then add \ to make it output right like so:[code]echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"delid\" value=\"$filmid\">";[/code]that should work.edit: one more thing, make sure $filmid equals something too, otherwise that is your problem.

Hypnos Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Or, since it seems this is outside of php tags...[code]<input type=hidden name="delid" value="<?php echo $filmid ?>">[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28576-passing-variables-in-a-form/#findComment-130766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I prefer hypnos method - I break out of php for html pretty much all the time. Only when I have somnething liek echo "<p>foo bar</p>"; do I not bother.
