update script PLEASE HELP

Anon

hi, i am having trouble with my update script. when i go to update entries into a table - i want the table to display what was previously entered into the db. so for example i would say :

printf ("
<tr>
<td width=140 bgcolor=#cccccc><b>ID :</b></td><td width=427 ><input type=text name=id size=65 length=65 value=%s></td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=140 bgcolor=#cccccc><b>Scholarship :</b></td><td width=427><input type=text name=name size=65 length=65 value=%s></td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=140 bgcolor=#cccccc><b>Value :</b></td><td width=427 ><input type=text name=value size=65 length=65 value=%s></td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=140 bgcolor=#cccccc><b>Deadline :</b></td><td width=427 ><input type=text name=deadline size=65 length=65 value=%s></td></tr>
\n",

$myrow[0], $myrow[1], $myrow[2], $myrow[3]);

this causes a problem however. whhen the page loads. in fields containing multiple word entries such as the scholarship field only the FIRST word shows up. what am i doing wrong here ? does it have to do with the input tag ?
i tried taking out the value portion and putting the %s outside of the input tag ( <input type=text>%s</input> but that just put the values outside of the box ...
PLEASE HELP.

First, read your post. I know you are frustrated but, how do you expect someone to answer it? People can't read your mind and you didn't post enough to give anyone a clue what you are trying to do. What do you mean by "FIRST word"?

Second, I'll take a wild guess and say you need to replace value=%s with value=\"%s\" (you should always put every attribute in quotes). Look at the string this print statement produces by using the browser's View Source capability, probably invalid HTML.

thanx - you were right about the slashes and quotations. (about the first word - it was only displaying the very first word of the entry rather than the whole phrase), AAAaand thanx again.
