Code: Select all
echo "<input type = 'text' name = 'changeName' value = '$r['customername']'>";
$r['customername'] is retreived from a DB
I'm hoping to put the text from a DB entry into a text field.
Regards,

Find the answer yourself:

To keep it simple I prefer to always exclude variables from a string.
Code: Select all
echo '<input type="text" name="changeName" value="'. $r['customername'] .'">';
Not only improves syntax highlighting in my text editor, but should be just a bit
faster as well (although I've heard people proclaiming that's only a myth).
