HTMLHelp Forums _ Server-side Scripting _ Input in a form echoed

Posted by: tudsy Jun 27 2021, 08:32 AM

Hi

I am having trouble with this statement:

echo '<input type="email" name="email" value="<?php echo $data["emailadd"]; ?>" placeholder = "Enter email address" Required>';

This statement is inside a form.

Any help would be helpful.

Thanks.

Did my previous answer not help? This question has more or less the same answer: you have to learn at least the basics of PHP syntax, then you have to unpick what you are trying to do.

I think your problem is the double <?php ?> tags. You can't put php tags inside one another. Remove the 2nd php tag and it should work:

CODE

echo '<input type="email" name="email" value="' . $data["emailadd"] . '" placeholder = "Enter email address" Required>';
