MadTechie Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 change echo "<option value=$it->target>$it->target</option>"; to echo "<option value='$it->target'>$it->target</option>"; Note the quotes EDIT: without the quotes its values is the test until with a > or a space is hit, with the quotes it takes the value until the closing quote is hit Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/105812-help-please/#findComment-542267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
