i have a php file that is outputting some html, for example:

\<b\>ryan:\</b\> hi

so when you navigate to the page and view its source you basically see what i just typed above.

can i assign the result of this php script to a textbox. or does this text returned by the php need to be assigned to a variable for load vars? like:

output=\<b\>ryan:\</b\> hi

thanks
