Using php variable in HTML

Question

I am using a php variable in html. $userProfile['institute'] is displaying correct value whenever $userProfile['institute'] is non-empty. When $userProfile['institute'] is empty , it display '/'. What may be the issue here ?

Institute: <input type="text" name="institute" value=<?php echo $userProfile['institute']?> /><br />

You are missing a set of quotes for your value attribute

value="<?php echo $userProfile['institute']?>"

It is good practice to use htmlentities to prevent injection attacks. <?= htmlentities($userProfile['institute']) ?>

You should add double quotes around it like this (like you have wrapped value of type and institute attributes )

Institute: <input type="text" name="institute" value=" <?php echo $userProfile['institute']?>" /><br />
