[Resolved] Spaces in Hidden Field

[baffled_in_UK]

Hi,

I have a hidden field in a form that I use as the key.
The Field is a Name and is in the format :
John Smith

I build the table as I read through all the records in my table so I can't put quotes around the value (as suggested in other threads

$line .="<tr><td>$name<input type=hidden name=$hide value=$name></td>
<td><input type=text name=$check_email size=25 maxlength=50 value=$email></td></tr>";

The problem I'm having is that when the form data is returned it ignores eveything after the blank, all I receive back is John

Can anybody tell me how to fix this ?

Thanks

how does your hidden input looks when parsed?

missing quotes would cause the behaviour...

<input type=hidden name=name value=John Smith>
--> only John will be passed

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="John Smith">

xblue,

I was editing my oiriginal message whilst you were replying, if you look at the php code I added you will see my problem.

Thanks

Im not quite sure why you cannot use quotes--

what about:
$line .="<tr><td>$name<input type=hidden name=$hide value=\"".$name."\"></td>
<td><input type=text name=$check_email size=25 maxlength=50 value=\"".$email."\"></td></tr>";
