First, you need to get the data from the file and make the items
useful:
<?
$ary = file("myfile.file");
foreach($ary as line) {
# break up the line
list($key,$value) = explode("=",$line);
# Take off that pesky newline
$value = substr($value,0,-1);
$data[$key]=$value;
}
?>
Now your values are accessible as $data["SAVINGS"], etc.
So... when building the HTML...
<?
print '<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="savings" VALUE="' .
$data["SAVINGS"] . "'>";
?>
