"value" field passes value too literally!

[rynato@gmail.com]

Simple question, probably a simple answer:

I have a php-based email form. There are three hidden variables passed
from the initial page to the php script which handles sending the
message:

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpagent " value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?

>" />

Everything works fine, I do get sent the message when I fill out and
submit the form, but the three values above are passed as literally,
the values seen above within the quotes. That is, I get:

Additional Info : IP = <?php echo $ipi ?>
Browser Info: <?php echo $httpagenti ?>
Referral : <?php echo $httprefi ?>

in the body of the email. Why? And what can I do to fix this?

thx in adv

Presumably the page that has this form has the extension .php? The only
other reason I could think that would case this is if in the script you have
the whole of the those 3 lines within single quotes.

Your server doesn't support PHP? The page on which the mail form sits is
not being parsed as PHP?

This shouldn't cause the problem, but the semicolons are missing at the end of
the php statements.

Well clearly that's not the problem. A semicolon may be omitted in such
a case.

As we Read The Fine Manual, we see the following: "The closing tag of a
block of PHP code automatically implies a semicolon; you do not need to
have a semicolon terminating the last line of a PHP block."

Am I the only one who thinks the problem may be the double quotes around
the php bits making the script parse it as a literal string? Or am I
just being silly. I can live with that now and then....

Nope, you're just being silly :-). This is pretty common in HTML.

Re: &quot;value&quo t; field passes value too literally!

You need to assign a variable to what you want, then echo it. For
instance...
BEGIN CODE:
<?
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>

..... whatever you want here, etc....

<input type=hidden name=ip value='<? echo $ip ?>' />
END CODE.

Verified and working fine. Do the same with your other variables.
