Form field shows characters / code

This php form is the best I found for absolute beginners. Well described, easy intergration. However, there is one thing that does not work in my adaptation. When I open the form page on the server, I have characters in my form field, such as <br />. Where does this come from? That's the code I use within the HTML form: 

<input type="text" class="formfield" size="30" name="Vorname"
value="<?php echo $_POST["Vorname"];?>" maxlength="30"> 

Thanks for your help!

check your code

Hi there, 

check your HTML code around your form, most likely there could be missing a " or < or > somewhere.

Problem not solved

I've checked the code again and couldn't find wrong or missing code around the form. But, after deleting the value statement (see above) including the PHP code within the input tag, the <br /> disappears in the browser. Should be associated with this part of the code, I suppose, but I couldn't locate the error yet.
