Hi,

I've been playing around trying to get a php variable to work as a value in a HTML form.

What I have is the form on a page called usercomment.php?cmd=viewrecord&id=xx where xx is a number for example 10.

I want the HTML form to be able to send the id via a $_GET['id'] as a value in a hidden field. The code I have tired is:

<form action="postcomment.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="internalcomment">
<input name="recordid" type="hidden" value="<?php $_GET[id];?>">

It doesnt work as it doesnt send the id number. If I physically write the value 10 in the entire script works fine, I just cant get it to send a variable id value.

Thanks

There is missing some characters.
Try this:

value="<?php $_GET[‘id’];?>"

Try an echo

My god, why didnt I think of trying it with an echo in there.

Thanks for your help both of you, i've put the ' back into the brackets and added echo.

Thanks!

You can do it this way too:

value="<?=$_GET["id"];?>"
