Here's an interesting one....

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
While parsing a form, all entries that are being echoed back to the user will not display correctly if there are spaces in the entry.

Here is an example...

$phone = "321 321 5866";
<form ....>
<input type="text" name="phone"
<?php if(isset($phone){echo "value=$phone"; } ?>>
</form>

Now when form is shown on the screen, it comes out as just "321". Everything beyond that first space is not displayed. Any ideas?

Thanx,

Sure: you're sending the data w/o urlencoding it, so the value ends after the first space.

That's not it. I can echo the information back to the screen and it appears as it should. Besides, when I sent the form with urlencoding, I still got the same thing.

Thanx anyways,

Morpheus,

You're not enclosing the text field's value in quotations. Same rules apply with PHP as HTML when it comes to form fields (you know, seeing as how it gets sent to the client as HTML🙂. Try this:

<?php if(isset($phone){echo "value='$phone'"; } ?>>

or this:

<?php if(isset($phone){echo "value=\"$phone\""; } ?>>

All your input should show up just fine. HTH.

Yeah, I eventually figured that out. It's strange how you can look right at something, leave it alone and go make a sandwich, then comeback and realize what should've been plain as day before.

Thanx for the feedback,
