Set input text to a PHP Value?

[acid.waste]

I'm new to PHP So sorry if this is a nooby question, But i have 3 php pages, one asks for username, pass, database and host, and then posts it on the next php page. The next PHP Page asks if all the information is correct, with hidden inputs, and the values as the PHP settings, but wrapped in <?php ?>

 

Example:

<input type="hidden" name="user" value=<?php $user; ?> />

 

Will the above set the value of user to the PHP Value of $user?

This is what you need to do:

 

<input type="hidden" name="user" value="<?php echo $user; ?>" />
