rajivgonsalves Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 if you have a variable $fname which holds the firstname your code should be function editProfile() { $fname = "test"; echo '<html><head></head><body><form><table> <tr><td><label for = "Fname"></label></td><td><input type = "text" id = "Fname" value = "'.$fname.'"></td></tr> </table></form></body></html>' } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebsdntu Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Wow,great,thank you so much,rajivgonsalves Could you explain to me what function does the .. around $fname do? Also, since $fname is alreay a string variable, why do I have to include ' ' to .$fname.? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
