Re: auto-input data into form boxes

The problem is with your input page. You're putting the variable values where the names go 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>"; ?> Try this inputpg.php <?php include("datafile.php"); print "<form action=test2.php method=get>"; print "<center><input type=text name=\"alpha\" value=\"$alpha\" size=5></center><br>"; print "<center><input type=text name=\"numb\" value=\"$numb\" size=5></center><br>"; print "<center><input type=submit value=\"Do_It!\"></center>"; print "</form>"; ?> Data Driven Design 1506 Tuscaloosa Ave Holly Hill, Florida 32117 http://www.datadrivendesign.com Phone: (386) 226-8979 Websites That WORK For You ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Danaher" <hdanaher@earthlink.net> To: "Php-General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 4:23 PM Subject: [PHP] auto-input data into form boxes I need professional help! 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>
