text field in php

[mickoni]

I have a problem displaying php as a default value in TEXT field.

It works fine if the $contact is 1 word, but if it is >1 it will just display the first word of the sentence.

For example if the contact is "Joe Bloggs" only "Joe" will be displayed. I have used echo $cont which displays the correct string, but as soon as I put it into the TEXT field, it somehow gets shortened. I have tried different variationa of the code, but nothing seems to work.

BELOW IS THE CODE I USE

$cont = stripslashes($row["contact"]);
echo $cont;

echo "<tr><td>Contact:</td><td><input type=text name='contact' size=30 value=".$cont."></td></tr>";

Has anyone heard of thie before?

Thanks in advance

Aha...I looked at this and couldn't figure it out at first, either. You left out the single quotes surrounding the value.
So it should be...

echo "<tr><td>Contact:</td><td><input type=text name='contact' size=30 value='".$cont."'></td></tr>";
