How to keep $req and $commenter autofill in custom comment_form() fields?

    How do you maintain the required and commenter information when you modify or add fields to the comment_form(). Example I wanted to alter the __(‘Name’) to be __(‘Your name’) with some added stuff under the form element but I won’t get the $req value now or esc_attr( $commenter[‘comment_author’] ). Anyone know how to get around this?

    function theme_comment_fields($fields) {
	$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
	$req = get_option('require_name_email');
	if( $req ) $reqd = '<span class="required">' . __('*',) . '</span>';
	$fields['author'] = '<p class="comment-form-author"><label class="text" for="author">' . __( 'Name' ) . $reqd . '</label><input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30" /></p>';
	$fields['email'] = '<p class="comment-form-email"><label class="text" for="email">' . __( 'Email' ) . $reqd . '</label><input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="' . esc_attr(  $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) . '" size="30" />' . '</p>';
	$fields['url']   = '<p class="comment-form-url"><label class="text" for="url">' . __( 'Website') . '</label>' . '<input id="url" name="url" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_url'] ) . '" size="30" /></p>';
	return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','theme_comment_fields');

    No problem. Just drop the new function in your theme’s functions.php file and it will kick in automatically.
