Text after space character cut off in input text field when editing form back

lisa007

Hi i have this edit form that allows user to edit data but the problems on the text box is that it deletes the rest of the data after the space from the first word i tried to increase the size of the varChars on mysql but did no work why it happens how can i stop from happening?? example if name elvis priesley when i try to edit it only comes elvis cuts off the other words after space

this the form input
PHP Code:

<input type="text" name="name" id="name" class='text_box' value="<?php echo $_GET['name'];

at what stage is it 'lost' you say it come from a db but in the example above your echoing it from $_GET (from the url, presumably posted from another or the same form)

I have this list where the data comes form the database the user is then able to select a row to edit which echo back the values in a form to be able to modify gut then when i s edit if e.g. you gave World Cup it only edits back World the rest dissapears and when u subimy the modification you lose the rest of the words??
