A goldfish would probally know how to do this.

I have looked eveywhere but am still unable to find the syntax to pass a PHP vaiable to a form field.
All the searches come up with ways to get a variable and output some results on a web paged, database or email it and the books i have are no help with this.

Take a look at this, see if it makes sence to you:

<INPUT type='text' name ='groovetronic' value='<?php echo($variable); ?>'>

See how that works? Is that what you are going for?
Post again if I got it wrong or you need explanation.

I guess you want to display some content in a text or text area field.

echo'<input type="text" name="variableName" value="$variableName" size="20">'; 

Or you might want to add the variable to a hidden field, this is an easy way to pass values from one page to the next if you have a long form spanning several pages.

echo'<input type="hidden" name="variableName" value="$variableName">';

The format... value='<?php echo($variable); ?>' ...works really fine, it was no fun getting stuck on something like that.
Thanks

FYI

echo'<input type="hidden" name="variableName" value="$variableName">'; 

Will not work.. The signal quotes cancel the parsing of variables.

The working version of that is

echo'<input type="hidden" name="variableName" value="'.$variableName.'">'; 

Mustals if you want a shorter version of what you are using now.. try

<?=$variable=?>

That will only work if some tag settings are on (default)..
