To answer your question, you could do something like this:
foreach($emp as $field => $value) {
echo '<textarea name="'.$field.'" cols="45" rows="5"
class="inputclass" id="'.$field.'">'.$value.'</textarea>';
}
The usual escaping needs to be applied.
Thanks,
Nathan.

Subject: Re: [phpug] Including Form Field Name in PHP echo
thanks all for your suggestions...
however, i have an existing HTML forms already created, im just
wanting a quick way to echo contents from database into these fields:
ie. instead of on a per field basis, having echo $row['fieldname'];
want to have something like echo $row['this.name']; so that i can copy
and paste this code throughout all my forms, quicker to code...
hope this makes sense...but yes Zend is a great solution for creating new
forms.
