Thank you both. Rob, I've gone with version two....
and as for session variables - well, they just whizzed right by, but thanks for the thought.

this may be too advanced, but have you thought about haveing users 'login' and 'logout' and use session variables to store the username and password?

Almost
PHP is great because you can basically 'end' and 'start' it whenever you want inside a .php(3) file.

So
just using:
">
this would 'start' PHP, print $username, and than 'end' it.

So you could have:

<?
$username = 'rob';
?>
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?echo $username?>"> 
<?
more
php
code
?>

You could also use

<?
$username = 'rob';
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" value=\"$username\">"; 
?>

'
But the prior method is much easier I find (especially if you are printing a lot of html)

Thanks so much, Rob.

That would make this line in full read:

echo "">\n";

My friends and I sure appreciate your help.

You could do something like this:

<?
php
code
here
?>
">
<?
more
php
code
?>
