Problem with variable in textfield

[arozzi]

I have a problem with displaying variables in a form in HTML.

My string is stored in a variable called
$address.

The problem is that when I want to set this value in a form it only displys the text until the first "space".

e.g

$address = 12 some road somewhere

echo"<input type=text name=address value=$address>";

only 12 is displayed.

I need to use this to edit details for members, what is the problem and how can I solve this..??

You have to enclose your string variable in quotes. An easy way to do so is like this:

echo '<input type=text name=address value="'.$address.'">';

That should work fine.

$address = 12 some road somewhere // this is incorrect.

//please change to

$address = "12 some road somewhere";

i think u have
display_errors = Off
in ur php.ini file...
please set it to On. so u can see the error message.

otherwise, if i am not wrong
$address = 12 some road somewhere;
because 12 is not constant. the some road somewhere is expecteted to be constant by PHP
