Variable that contains string...

[janhouse00]

Hello, I have a variable, $test that contains the string
"I love php". When I passed the variable from a() to b(),then from b() to c(), the final result I got was "I". I wonder why the rest of the string "love php" was ignored. But the variable works dandy if it is passed between two functions. Perhaps the parser will automatically ignore the rest of variable when it encountered white space?Is there anyway to address this problem.Thank you very much.

This is the good old "but I don't wanna follow the HTML standard!" problem again.

Look at the line

<input type=hidden name=test value=$test>

And figure out what would be sent to the browser if $test='I love PHP':

<input type=hidden name=test value=I love PHP>

(you can see this when you view the source in the browser).

So what does the browser send back when the form is submitted?

test=I

and "love" and "PHP" end up being treated by the browser as unrecognised attributes for the <input> tag.

Solution: follow the HTML conding standard and write

<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"test\" value=\"$test\">

And to play it safe:

<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"test\" value=\"".htmlspecialchars($test)."\">
