Pre filling form with mysql data

[Anon]

I am trying to prefill a form with a string from a mysql table. Problem is if the string contains spaces only the text before the first space is displayed in the text box.

Any way to solve this other than using <textarea>?

I experimented with urlencode/urldecode: urlencode($row["surfaceCondition"]); displays complete string with "+" inserted for spaces.
urldecode(urlencode($row["surfaceCondition"])); truncates string as above.

Code Snippet:
$result = mysql_query("select * from snowReport");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
return $row;
<form>
<input type=text name=surfaceCondition size=20 maxlength=150 value=<? echo $row["surfaceCondition"]); ?>>
</form.

Change this:
<input type=text name=surfaceCondition size=20 maxlength=150 value=<? echo
$row["surfaceCondition"]); ?>>

to this:
<input type=text name=surfaceCondition size=20 maxlength=150 value='<? echo
$row["surfaceCondition"]); ?>'>
