PHP counter to input field

Hi i use this PHP script http://www.stevedawson.com/scripts/text-counter.php

And to make it appear on my html page i use this ajax script.

<script>

$.ajax({
    type:'GET',
    url:'http://www.solariserat.se/count.php',
    data:'',
    success: function(data){
            $('#container').html(data);
    }
});

</script>

Together with this html code

<div id="container">    
<?php include "count.php"; ?>
</div>

And it works perfect and it displays the counted numbers inside the div.

But i want it to be displayed as value inside a input tag Is this possible, and how do i do it?

I know this is wrong but you get my point what i want to do =)

<input value="count.php">

I manage to get the values inside a input field so i can now send it with a form and submit button.

Maybe it's not a good locking solution, but it works.

I made an iframe that shows a .php page and made a input field like this

<input value="<?php include "count.php"; ?>">

And then i made a script placed in parent .html page like this

 function boahaga()  {

    var myphp = window.frames["invoice"].document.getElementById ( "myidbo" ).value, 
        result = document.getElementById('fakturanr_from'),
        myResult;

    {
      myResult = myphp;
      result.value = (myResult);
    }


}

And inside the body tag i run script onload.

<body onload="boahaga()">

Now the input on the parent .html page is filled correct with the .php page input value.

you should be using php tag for this :

<input value="<?php include "count.php"; ?>">

i'll suggest do not use short tags until and unless you are handling them properly.

if you want to show some value use:

<input value="<?php echo $count; ?>">// here count is a variable.

This should work:

<input value="<?php include "count.php"; ?>">

However a cleaner approach would be to include the count value in the PHP page that is rendering the <input> so you can do something like this:

<input value="<?= count ?>">
