I am using php to query a postgresql database and assigning the resultant variable to a html form/text field. I am new to php, but have not found anything that describes how this is achieved. I have tried in vain using a combination of php and javascript, without success. Any help/insight appeciated smile.gif It's probably simple, but to a beginner!

[code] <input type="text" name="something" value="$php-variable-goes-here"/>[code]

You'll need to escape the html into php to display the variable. Something like:
CODE

<input type="text" name="something" value="<?=$php-variable-goes-here?>"/>
