Quoted text disapearing in text input boxes

[clem_c_rock]

Hello,

This is rather embarassing given my 4 years of php coding experience but I've noticed when I'm pulling quoted text from a database into a input text field, the entire text w/in the quotes, and the quotes themselves disappears.

For instance, if I try to echo this string: this is "text", only the string: this is will show up in the text input box.

I know there has to something stupid I'm missing

Thanks,
Clem C
