Basic form question.

[Frank Yates]

So this I got a basic login form on my index.php, and normally you would see two input boxes right ? Now, my question is how do I put a text in the input boxes when the page loads up. I tried echoing but it didn't work for me or I might did it wrong.

PHP Code:

<form action='index2.php' method='POST'>
<input type='text' name='username'></br>
<input type='password' name='password'></br>
<input type='submit' value='Submit'></br>
</form> 


Here is an example I made how I wanted it to show up.


Thanks.

PHP Code:

<input type="text" name="username" value="User" />
// or within php
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" value=\"{$some_var}\" />"; 


The attribute value defines what will be in there.

Oh thanks, that worked. I did that before and it didn't work, but now it does. Oh well, silly me.
