ok let me try this question thing again...
i am having a problem using <input> tags by using current values kept in a
mysql table. how do you get the values out of the table and into a form so
they show as the value= part of the tag?
i tried just aabout everything and it doesnt work even htmlspecialchars()
doesnt work.. all i get for output on the page is the rest of the script
printed on the screen after the value= part of the tag..is there any way to
fix it?
