Pass PHP session variable into HTML form

Question

I have session variables that are posted from a form on another php page, and I can echo them by using:

<?php $_SESSION['newsletterSignup'] = $_POST['newsletterSignup'];
echo "Email = ". $_SESSION['newsletterSignup'];
?> 

But I can't seem to insert these into a HTML form field:

<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="36" "value="<?php echo $_SESSION['newsletterSignup'];?>" class="text-input" onBlur="emailval()" />

Solution 1

This should work...the quote before value was probably screwing it up

<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="36" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['newsletterSignup'];?>" class="text-input" onBlur="emailval()" />

Solution 2

you use

<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="36" "value="<?php echo $_SESSION['newsletterSignup'];?>" class="text-input" onBlur="emailval()" />

A " to many. Here is the fix

<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="36" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['newsletterSignup'];?>" class="text-input" onBlur="emailval()" />

Also, did you use session_start(); ?

@DLO - Do you use an editor or IDE with syntax highlighting? It makes those things very easy to spot.
