Change Form Values

Hi I'm a very big newb to PHP so if you tolerate my utterly retarded questions, I thank you very much! ;)

Here is a form, very basic. What it does it just allow you to type your name and comment and then post it.

 

$template_form = <<<HTML
  <table border="0" width="493" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="64" height="30"><div align="left">Name:</div></td>
      <td height="30">

    
<input type='text' name='name'>
                                                             </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="64" height="30"></td>
      <td height="30">
      <textarea cols="40" rows="2" id=commentsbox name="comments"></textarea>
      <br /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td height="30"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Comment" /></td>
    </tr>
</table>
HTML;

 

Now for "<input type='text' name='name'>" I would like it not be editable. Here's what I would like:

 

If a user is logged in

if ((!isset($_SESSION['validUser'])) || ($_SESSION['validUser'] != true))

 

Then their username

$username

Will be the value for the "<input type='text' name='name'>".

 

Otherwise the value would be 'guest'.

 

If you need clarification, please post! Here is the webpage: http://tobysplayground.100webspace.net/Phat%20Cat%20Productions/index.php

 

Thanks in advance!

Did what you told to do mate and

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/www/tobysplayground.100webspace.net/Phat Cat Productions/news/data/Default.tpl on line 44

 

So I think I should just show you the entire .tpl file. I'm using Cutenews manager if you've had experience with that.

 

<?PHP
///////////////////// TEMPLATE Default /////////////////////
$template_active = <<<HTML
<div style="margin-bottom:20px;">

<div class="h"><strong>{title}</strong></div>

<div style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:5px;">{short-story}</div>

<div style="float: right;">[com-link]{comments-num} Comments[/com-link]</div>

<div><em>Posted on {date} by {author}</em></div></div>
HTML;


$template_full = <<<HTML
<div style="margin-bottom:20px;">
<div class="h"><strong>{title}</strong></div>

<div style="text-align:justify; padding:3px; margin-top:3px; margin-bottom:5px;">{short-story}</div>

<div style="float: right;">[com-link]{comments-num} Comments[/com-link]</div>

<div><em>Posted on {date} by {author}</em></div></div>
HTML;


$template_comment = <<<HTML

<div> by <strong>{author}</strong> @ {date}</div>

<div style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:10px;">{comment}</div>

HTML;


$template_form = <<<HTML
  <table border="0" width="493" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="64" height="30"><div align="left">Name:</div></td>
      <td height="30">

    
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['userName']; ?>" disabled />
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="64" height="30"></td>
      <td height="30">
      <textarea cols="40" rows="2" id=commentsbox name="comments"></textarea>
      <br /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td height="30"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Comment" /></td>
    </tr>
</table>
HTML;


$template_prev_next = <<<HTML
<p align="center">[prev-link]<< Previous[/prev-link] {pages} [next-link]Next >>[/next-link]</p>
HTML;
$template_comments_prev_next = <<<HTML
<p align="center">[prev-link]<< Older[/prev-link] ({pages}) [next-link]Newest >>[/next-link]</p>
HTML;
?>

 

ANOTHER side note. I used the same code in the index.php and it worked like a charm. However, once I put it in the default.tpl file I got the error.

 

I appreciate your quick response. Thanks for the help!
