Remembering form data, after spaces...

Blob

Ok, if somebody doesn't fill in data in the form, it sends him back telling him to fill it in. It also keeps the data he filled in, using...

<input type=text name='name' value=<? if(isset($name)){ echo "$name"; }?>>

<textarea name='address' cols='30' rows='5' wrap='virtual'><? if(isset($address)){ echo "$address"; }?>

<select name="title">
          <option value="Mr" <? if($title == "Mr"){ echo "selected"; }?>>Mr</option>
          <option value="Mrs" <? if($title == "Mrs"){ echo "selected"; }?>>Mrs</option>
          <option value="Ms" <? if($title == "Ms"){ echo "selected"; }?>>Ms</option>
          <option value="Dr" <? if($title == "Dr"){ echo "selected"; }?>>Dr</option>
        </select>

<input name="testcheck" type="checkbox" id="testcheck" value="YES" <? if($testcheck == "YES"){ echo "CHECKED"; }?>>

Now then... It works perfectly... Except, if you type for example... "Human Being" in the name or any field, when you return the to page after leaving another box empty it's remembered it as, "Human".

How can I keep everything?

Thanks.

I think it is a problem with the html.

Try:

<input type=text name='name' value="<?php if (isset($name)){ echo $name; }?>">

Still doesn't work.

Thanks anyway. 🙂

maybe you should post the URL to the form or something

my guess was that the lack of quotes meant that text after whitespace was ignored.

I would also advise you to check but writing $name outside the input tag.

If only the first word is output, then you have a strange problem on your hands.
otherwise, it should be a problem with the html.

Well laserlight is right in that you should name it like "username" or something, and have quotes on the outside of your echoed value... but also.. try this...

assuming of course you already changed the name to username... the %20 is urlencoded space, and this should maintain state... or you really need to upgrade your browser 😉
