problems trying to update a form field

Hello, I am getting a record back to a form for the user to edit/update. The mysql field is called 'header'. I have inserted it as the 'value' in a "input text line", for the user to overtype.... echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"header\" size=\"49\" VALUE=$header>"; I then call my php script that does the update, but the text field $header does not get passed updated, no matter what I type. echo "<A HREF=\"dbchange.php3?rowidd=$rowidd&header=$header\">UPDATE</A>"; What am I doing wrong please ?? ________________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
