Variable and Text fields

[Pi_Mastuh]

How do you make the forms that already have data in them? I'm making a change user info page and I'd like the form to have their current info already so it's easier to change.

you can specify default text in a form field by using value="blah"

ie.
[code]
<input type="text" name="username" value="JoeBloggs">
[/code]

But if it's in an html page it will just end up saying Name: $name

You would put the form in php:
[code]
<?php
echo "<form action=\"". $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ."\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">
<input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" value=\"".$variable."\">
<input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" />
</form>";
?>
[/code]

Where $variable, would be the place you would want your user data to show.
