No offense Sunfire but I don't think you're ready to
be answering questions.  Please spend some more time
learning first and then start answering ;)  Although
your point of using quotes was good, just say so
without code as the above would always result in
the value "Array".

In a more general sense, it's most likely $Foo has a 
space in it or a quote or some  undesireable character:

  // good html
  <input type="text" name="foo" value="a bar">

  // bad html (value becomes 'a' not 'a var')
  <input type="text" name="foo" value=a var>

  <input type="text" name="foo" value="<?php echo $var ?>">

Regarding other possible goodies in $var such as
characters like < or > or " or whatever ... read
this faq:

  http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.encoding

If the error is something else it's because you did
not describe the question very well.  Knowing the 
error would be a huge help.

Philip
