How do i set a text input field value to equal a php session variable

im using

<input type="text" name="compI" value=".$_SESSION['compNumber']."/>

but all it does is put the text ".$_SESSION['compNumber']."" in the field ... I want the value of the session variable

cheers

Use...

PHP Code:

<?
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"compI\" value=\"" . $_SESSION['compNumber'] . "\">";
?>

!!!

or inline...

<input type="text" name="compI" value="<?= $_SESSION["compNumber"]?>" />

dont forget to start the session
