its not quite clear to me where you're problem lies, my best guess is you have a little html-problem, just yell at me when I still got it wrong

You're input field in the html file doesn't contain the default value you expected, try this:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="stupidfield" value="default value">

echo"<td><input name="Name1" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20" value=";
if($Row[Linkname1]){
print($Row[Linkname1]);}
echo"></td>";

i have only the value "my" in my text field.....

the value is only "my" because it's not between "
because you use echo like this:

Code: Select all

echo " text to echo "

it is a bit difficult to see what is actually printed to the page and what's not.
perhaps you can use ' like this:

Code: Select all

print('<td><input name="Name1" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20" value="');
if($Row[Linkname1]){
print($Row[Linkname1]);}
print('"></td>');


when using ' you don't have to escape the spacial characters.

That will simply output:

<td><input name="Name1" type="text" size="20" maxlenght="20" value=my link name"></td>

You forgot the opening quotation marks for the value!

It's worst than that, special characters are only special between double quotes, single quotes interpret a string literally.

Code: Select all

<?
$string = "This is my string";

print "The string is '$string'\nthat was it"; //Outputs The string is 'This is my string'
that was it

print 'The string is "$string"\nthat was it"; //Outputs The string is "$string"\nthat was it
