yea it would work on a website at least
and then for the form you would just say value=<?=$email?>
the syntax of my example is different from yours since unix php starts by doing <? and ends with ?>
where as yours might be something like
value=<php>$email</php>
either way i would help you out if you dont have this 'solved' in 5 hours when i get back so ill keep an eye on this post
i have vb 6.0 on this computer as well so i should be able to make my own source to give to you or edit yours
