    passing the value from a text box to a varible

    Hi, this is probably a stupid question.

    Im trying to declare a varible to have the value of that in a text box

    when i declare the varible is there a way to give it the value in a text box called area.

    i was trying the way below but it puts the word username in the database

    $userName = 'username';

    then in the form i used

    <p><b>User Name:</b> <input type="text" name="userName" size="10" maxlength="20" value="<?php ($_post['$userName']) ?>" /></p>

    doesnt seem to work thought
    any ideas

          you are already defining $_POST['$userName']; in the beginning

          Code:
          <p><b>User Name:</b> <input type="text" name="userName" id ="userName" size="10" maxlength="20" value="<?php $userName ?>" /></p>
