Question

I have this code basis:

echo '<input required  type = "text" name = "subject1" value="XXX" />';

However, I would like XXX to be a variable, I have searched this online, but all the things that one of the discussions says is to do this:

value=\"$firstName\" 

or

value='$firstName'

I have tried both of these, but they don’t work, and I was hoping that someone could help me with this problem, basically, what I want is to be able to asign the value of a text edit to a variable in php, but when the text edit itself, is embedded in an echo, nothing seems to work.

Thanks

Concatenation is a pretty easy way to go about this:

echo '<input required  type = "text" name = "subject1" value="' . $foo . '" />'

edit: Those spaces around the concatenation .’s (. $foo .) aren’t required – I just add them fore readability.
