[RESOLVED] textbox is dropping all values after first space

[jmoore2141]

Hi,
I've never seen this before but I have a variable which contains two words. I can echo the variable just prior to populating the text box and see both words displayed, however the textbox only displays the first word. The DB is mysql, table MYISAM, datatype varchar(30), collation latin_swedish_ci.

Any help will be appreciated.

echo $19_value;
?>
<input type=text size=50 name=PSM value= <? echo $19_value ?>>
<?

produces

FirstWord SecondWord

FirstWord

Thanks,

Josh

It is time to use double quotes, as you should have done in the first place:

<input type=text size=50 name=PSM value="<? echo $_19_value ?>">

Oh, and try and use normal PHP tags instead of short tags. <?xml will leave the PHP interpreter stunned, which is why short_tags are often turned off.

Consequently, if you had run your page through an HTML Validator, this problem would have fixed itself.
