Form truncates MySQL data

VertLime

Entry in MySQL table is: "The Counts"

the form displays only "The" truncating the rest of it - I want to see both words with a space in the middle.
Here's the code:

<td ><input type=text size="28" STYLE="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-color: #FFFF99;" name=group_name value=<?echo $row->group_name ?>></td>

You forgot to quote some of your attribute values, especially the value attribute. You should also apply [man]htmlspecialchars/man or [man]htmlentities/man to $row->group_name when printing it.

I am quite new to PHP - it just seems it should behave the same everywhere.
I changed the code a bit but still no go. Here it is again:

<tr bgcolor='#f1f1f1'><td colspan="3" ><font face='Verdana' size='2' >Member of</td>
<td ><font face='Verdana' size='2'>
<input type=text size="28" STYLE="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-color: #FFFF99;" name=group_name value=<?echo($group);?>></td>
<td ><?echo($group);?></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>[code=php]

there are two instances of "echo($group)" - the first one returns "The" and the second one returns "The Counts" - shouldn't both displays be the same?

You still missed the quotes around the attribute values.

thank you johanafm

the quotes actually fixed the problem.
