Text Boxes only display part of my data

[GavW]

Hey all!

I am currently developing my 2nd PHP project. A problem i had with my 1st project was that when i use text boxes to display data from a database, so that the user can edit the contents, i only get data which comes before a space. I'd like to sort this for the project i am currently working on.

For example if i wish to display data from a field which reads "1 2 3" in a text box all i will get is '1' as the space seems to act as a cut off. You can imagine how annoying this is when i wish to display a person's address and all i get is the house number.

I have tried passing the information using the "GET" method as well as using a for loop to loop through the records and display data. Both methods have the same problem. I am using a MySQL database and i have tried altering the field format to long text with no such luck.

Hopefully somebody will be able to solve my problem.

Thanks in advance

There is something wrong with your code. There's no reason mySQL would cut that string (unless you told it to), and PHP shouldn't, unless there's something wrong with your code.

I'll take a jump here and say you don't enclose the value of the "value" attribute of the text-field/area in quotes.

Post your code so we can see what you're working with....
