[RESOLVED] edit by form

[cbesh2]

I am trying to create a form that will populate the fields with data from my database. I want this form to be used to update the existing data in my database. I am using the following code:

<input type=text size=40 name=fname value =<?php echo $row["fname"]; ?>>

This works; however, if there is a space it only shows the first word. For example, if my data for address is "123 Main Street" it will only display "123". Or if I have two words for my employer field "Acme Engineering", it will only display "Acme". Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Got it! You must add htmlspecialchars to the code.

<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row["fname"]); ?>

I use this with every pre-populated text input, and it seems to save me from a number of things...

<input type='text' name='searchname' size='50' value='".stripslashes(htmlentities($searchname,ENT_QUOTES))."'>

Excellent. Thank you for the tip.
