Here's something I found but don't understand if or how it could be
used: (from php.net manual)
|quote... snip...
to reliably allow form data to be fed back into a form (for editing a
record, for instance) is like this:
echo "<input type='text' name='varname' ";
if(isset($existingvalue))
echo "value=\"".htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($existingvalue))."\" ";
echo "/>";
This assumes that variables have been escaped (such as addslashes) after
being retrieved from the database or after being received from a
(probably this) form. endquote
>From this form??? How would you get the $existingvalue? from the form? How?
I'm trying, I'm trying...
