PHP Variable to prefill text box

I want to be able to take a textbox and prefill it with the variable from mysql query.

I want to use the variable from this section; and prefill a textbox
$ifs = mysql_query("SELECT final_sale
FROM oetable_backup WHERE upper($field)='$find'");

Textbox;
<input type="text" name="sales" value="<?php echo $ifs; ?>">
Ship Date:

How do I do this??

Thanks,
Jeff

This should work...

$ifs = mysql_query("SELECT final_sale
FROM oetable_backup WHERE upper($field)='$find'"); 
 
if ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ifs))
     $finalsale = $row[0];
 
<input type="text" name="sales" value="<?=$finalsale?>">

It worked. I just had to place my php code in the front and end because that part of the page is HTML. But I been trying to figure this out for months. This is the best news. Thanks a lot...

<?php
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"sales\" value=\"$finalsale\" /> \n";
?>
