I am trying to reduce my file sizes and get rid a lot of repetative code.

I created this function however, it appear that php does not like what I have done.

Any suggestions as I cannot see what I have done wrong.

PHP Code:

function textbox1($type1,$name1,$string1){
 echo '<input type="'$type1'" name="'.$name1.'" value="'.$string1.'" >';
} 


You left off the concatenation operators around $type1:

PHP Code:

function textbox1($type1,$name1,$string1){
 echo '<input type="' . $type1 . '" name="' . $name1 . '" value="' . $string1 . '" >';
}
