Hi,
I was wondering is it possible to pass the values of PHP variables in a
form. I have been trying, but without success.
First I call the function to generate a password and store that value in
a variable called $genpassword :
<?php
$genpassword = generate_password()
?>
<html>
<body>
<form name="registrationform" method="post"
action="register.php">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td><input type="password" name="password" value="<?php
$genpassword
?>"></td>
</tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="signup"></td>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
For some reason the value inside $genpassword does not show up on the
password field. The password field is just empty.
My question is can an input value store a PHP variable?
Thanks.
Peter
