I need to make a form that will display old data in the form boxes, wait for user input (if they want to change something), and then go on to another page. This is what I have now, and it doesn't work: datafile.php <?php $alpha="Alpha"; $numb="46"; ?> inputpg.php <?php include("datafile.php"); print "<form action=test2.php method=get>"; print "<center><input type=text name=".$alpha." size=5></center><br>"; print "<center><input type=text name=".$numb." size=5></center><br>"; print "<center><input type=submit value=Do_It!></center>"; print "</form>"; ?> test2.php <html> <body> <?php print "This is alpha".$alpha; print "<br>this is numb".$numb; ?> </body> </html>
