$query = mysql_query("SELECT button1 FROM layout WHERE page = 'home'") or die(mysql_error());

list($button1) = mysql_fetch_row($query);

echo "<form action="test.php" method="post"> Button 1: <input type="text" name="button1" value="$button1"/>";

First off, you are not escaping your characters.

 

Change this:

<?php

echo "<form action="test.php" method="post"> Button 1: <input type="text" name="button1" value="$button1"/>
";

?>

 

To:

<?php

echo "<form action=\"test.php\" method=\"post\"> Button 1: <input type=\"text\" name=\"button1\" value=\"$button1\"/>
";

?>

 

Then you are not ending your statement at the end.

 

Change this:

mysql_close($link)

 

To:

mysql_close($link);
