How do I echo input value in a php script?

Question

how it looksI need to set an input value in a php script

<php
<input value="<?php echo $_SESSION['logged_user']->login; ?>">
?>

As you might understand my does not work

And what isn't working? What value, if any, is this outputting? Are there any errors in the PHP logs? What is in $_SESSION['logged_user']? Did you start the session on that page? Please elaborate on the problem. — David

Your PHP syntax is very confused. While inside of a <?php ?> section you're trying to directly write HTML, and trying to open another <?php ?> section.

Either get rid of the enclosing section:

<input value="<?php echo $_SESSION['logged_user']->login; ?>">

Or keep the enclosing section and use PHP code to output:

<php
echo '<input value="' . $_SESSION['logged_user']->login . '">';
?>

I highly recommend the first approach over the second approach. It could be shortened even more if you do value="<?= $_SESSION['logged_user']->login ?>"

@GrumpyCrouton: Agreed, though the example given may be contrived and there may be more code involved which could merit the second approach. Both are shown just for completeness.
