I am just settling in my mind conflicting ways of dealing with forms.

In one the user box is identified by name="whatever" and that is dealt with
by the action file.

The other is something like this: value="<?=$_POST['first_name'];?>" also
dealt with by the action file.

Am I right in thinking the second would be used where there is a range of
options to select from.   I have an example which, as there is no list,
produces a notice of an unidentified variable and also shows the php code in
the textbox.

Is there a reason for using the second version where the form is filled with
new information?

TIA
