[RESOLVED] Is the # in my form field value messing up the result?

[sunshine66]

I have multiple form fields passing properly, except this one:

     <select name="Day1Equip1" class="small" >
        <option value="" ></option>
            $query3 = "SELECT * FROM EquipmentList ORDER BY Model";
            $result3 = @mysql_query($query3);
            while($line = mysql_fetch_array($result3))  

            {  

              $Model = $line["Model"]; 
              $Item = $line["ItemNum"]; 
              $ModelItem = $Model . "#" . $Item;
              echo "<OPTION VALUE='$Model #$Item' >$Model #$Item</OPTION>";  

            }	
      </select> 

When I view the HTML source, the option values are correct.
For example "TEST #1", "TEST #2", "TEST #99" etc.

Then, on posting the form javascript alert states $Day1Equip1 value is undefined while the php value returns null (i.e. '')

	$Day1Equip1 = $_POST['Day1Equip1'] ;
	print "$Day1Equip1";  //returns null value 

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm wondering if problem is related to the fact that the value contains the character '#'.

If that's true, how do I fix it?

If it's not the #, anyone know what it might be?

I have other select boxes with similar code, and their values pass properly.
