forms and PHP

[Surrix]

How do I set variables in PHP so when I have forms on a page they already show up with those values?

For instance when we edit your post in vB your title show back up in the title form and you message in the message box.

Also most of the time when you have a box where you put in a webpage it shows up with the http:// for you.

How is that done?

How is that done?With a value="" attribute. I would need to see some code to be able to show you exactly what to do, but..echo '<input type="text" name="something" value="'.$_somevar.'" />';Or for a webpageecho '<input type="text" name="url" value="http://'.$_urlvar.'" />';

Do I need the underscore and will this same method apply to vBulletin 3 template system?

Even though you figured it out... -- just for the record, no underscore is needed.
