In the PHP block do this:
<?php
$textBoxValue = '50';
?>
Then in the input do it inline like this:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="txtEmail" name="txtEmail" value="<?php echo $textBoxValue; ?>">
This will allow you to control what ever data is put into that field from the PHP code block.

I'm Unable to set value of textbox using php variable
1st : Change your code order
otherwise you will get undefined
error . your trying the embed the variable with html before creating the variable .
2nd : should be use single =
not ==
empID = $employeeID
3rd : your mixing mysql
with mysqli
here mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)
Change to
mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
4th: And also use isset()
to confirm that variable exists or not if exists echo it otherwise echo the empty string .
5th: change your if like this if(mysqli_num_rows($result)>0){ }
file.php
<?php
if( isset( $_REQUEST['searchRec'] ))
{
......
$employeeID = $row['empID'];
$Name = $row['Name'];

</body>
</html>
How do I assign the value of a textbox to a variable?
You can do it like this:
$albumName = $_POST['albumName'];
Here:
$albumName
is the variable name containing value of text box namedalbumName
$POST
is the form methodPOST
eg<form method="POST"
Note 1: For that to work, it is assumed that you submit the form first.
Note 2: To submit to same page, set action
attribute of <form>
tag to empty
Set html text box value from php variable
You're missing the value
attribute in your <input>
field:
<p><input type="email" name="email" value="<?php echo htmlentities($email_value) ?>" placeholder="Email" required></p>
This will break the placeholder you wanted to use but that should always be there anyway since it will not show if you provide a value.
