Some tips on outputting HTML with PHP:

1. Use single quotes so that you don't have to escape the double quotes (when using echo),
2. Use htmlspecialchars() to properly escape any "rogue" values you may have.

Example using echo:

echo '<input type="hidden" name="id" value="', htmlspecialchars($row['id'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'), '" />';

Or printf():

printf('<input type="hidden" name="id" value="%s" />', 
    htmlspecialchars($row['id'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')
);

Or, in HTML mode:

?>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['id'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>" />
<?php

Answer 2

Use htmlentities:

echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"id\" value=\"".htmlentities($row['id'])."\" />";
