Missing quotes when passing vars thru form action.

[Arc]

I have a drop down list that holds values from a database.

Print "<option value=\"$Value\">$Sample</option>";

The $Value variable holds the whole string, for example: He said, "He was a programmer".

The $Sample variable holds a snipit of that string, for exmaple: He said, "He was a pro...

My probelm is when i submit the form and get the vaules on the next form the quotation marks are missing and anything that was after a quotation mark is missing. SO instead of the string being
He said, "He was a programmer". it turns out to be, He said, .

Any idea what is going on with the quotation marks and how i fix this?

Thanks Alot!!

As you can't escape quotes in HTML, you should replace it with html entities or with quotes of another type (in this case, single quotes).

No that wont work as i need thme to stay as regular quotes.. And there may also be Single quotes in the string so i cant convert the single quotes back into regular quotes or that could be messed up as well...BUT you did make me think of something...htmlspecialchars...gunna give it a trry thanks!
