If you look at the HTML returned, you'll probably see World at the very 
end of the input tag. To fix this, put quotes around the value 
attribute. Really, it's good practice to put quotes around all 
attribute values in HTML:
echo forminput type=\test\ size=\25\ value=\$xyz\/form;

Put quotes around all the values, like:

echo forminput type='test' size='25' value='$xyz'/form;

Hi Jay.

You need to wrap the value attribute in quotes, or else it'll truncate
at the first space.

echo forminput type=text size=25 value=\$xyz\/form;

Oh, and you'd also misspelled the type value text as test (which
incidentally shows up as a text input anyways, since that's the default.

Cheers,
Pablo

I would try single quotes here.

$xyz = 'Hello World';

Your html is very sloppy actually.

Use:

$xyz = 'Hello World';

echo 'forminput type=text size=25 value='.$xyz.'/form';

That's good advice in general, but this error is the fault of the output
of the variable, not its creation. HTML attributes (such as value) should
be quoted. Always.

Hope that helps.
