Thank you very much. Once I changed the html_entities to htmlentities it worked great.

As many others I am new to this and am having a problem displaying data returned from a database table. The data contains a quote mark which I am pretty certain is my problem. The data returned is a product description such as - 14" bowl. When I display the field most of the time it displays ok. such as: <td><span class="style2"><?php echo "{$row['DESCRIPTION']}"; ?></span></td> Returns: 14" Bowl But when I try the following: <td colspan = "5"><input type="text" name="DESCRIPTION" value="<?php echo "{$row['DESCRIPTION']}"; ?>"id="DESCRIPTION" size="100" /></td> All I get returned is 14 It cuts it off at the quote. Can someone help with what I am doing wrong.
