[SOLVED] $_GET variable multiple word...only one word is showing up

[networkthis]

Ok I have a question.  I am autofilling a drop menu from a mysql table.  It auto fills great.  Prints out all the html properly and everything.  However when I try to get the value of the select box... I am only getting the first word everytime.(Most words are single words...but it really screws up my results for searching.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Here is my code and the ways I have tried to pull the value from the drop menu.

 

<?php
$search=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT position_type FROM db WHERE status LIKE '%current%' ORDER BY position_type ASC"); 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($search)) {		
	echo '<option value=' . $row[position_type] .'>' .  $row[position_type] .  '</option>';	
}

?>

</select>

 

Ways I've tried to $_GET the value of the drop menu...I don't have this problem by the way on anything else besides my drop menus and the form is set to GET.

 

<?php

//This only shows one word
$position_type;
echo $postition_type;

//This only shows one word
$position_type=$_GET['position_type'];
echo $postition_type;

//This only shows one word
$position_type = @$_GET['position_type'] ;
echo $postition_type;

//This only shows one word
$pt=split(" ",$position_type);
echo $pt[0] . "<br>";
echo $pt[1];

?>

 

The value is always correct when it is only one word.  I can't figure it out I'm sure it can't be that difficult, but I'm running out of options.  Any ideas are appreciated.  Thank you!

OK.....I solved it!!!!!!!!!  Adding this fixed it.

 

<option value="<? echo $row['position_type']; ?>" >

 

Simple huh....only took an hour to figure that out.
