easy script question???

[Anon]

Hi Guys,
Here is my script:

<?
echo "<font face=Verdana, Arial size=2 color=red><b>Band Name:</b></font><br>";
echo "<input type=text name=band_name maxlength=30 size=25 value br><br>";
?>
Why is it that it only returns the first word of the band.
The value {$row['band_name']} is 'Beat Crusaders" (the value in the database) but in the input field it only displays 'Beat'
Can anyone explain this?

Cheers,
sam

Try this for your second line:

echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"band_name\" maxlength=\"30\" size=\"25\" value=\"$row['band_name']\"";

if you dont use quotationmarks for the attribute values, it will only assign the letters/numbers before the first space to the according attribute.

check what Craig H wrote down - thats how it should work - its the more safe way.
