Hi,

Im trying to get some data into the default value for a text box.

This data is already being displayed on the page that this form sits, and is being displayed with the following code.
<?php echo $this->company->businesscode?>
 

My question is, how can I get this into the default value for a a text box?

I have tried this in the default value, however it does not work.
<code>
<?php echo $this->company->businesscode?><?php } ?>
</code>

Any suggestions please ?

Thanks
Greg

One suggestion: have a look through the product documentation once in a while:

I've read those pages, which were of no help.

I can get it to work, sort of.

This works to pull page title in...( a workaround for me)
//<code>
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
return $doc->getTitle();
//</code>

However, my question was about php echo, which I cannot get to work at.

Tried this (which does not work)...
//<code>
<?php echo $this->company->businesscode?><?php } ?>
//</code>

Anyway done this with php echo ?

Thanks Greg

That's the point, you should not echo the result in that particular field, but return the value (as per provided examples). Further to this, you shouldn't use PHP tags in any of the RSForm!Pro scripting areas.

PS: I doubt your script would work, as it assumes that by the time the script is triggered, the variable you are trying to echo is already initialized.
