Hi I have a form with

<H4>Country:</H4>
</TD><TD>
<H4>
<SELECT NAME="country">
<OPTION VALUE='United Kingdom' >United Kingdom
<OPTION VALUE='United States of America' >United States of America
<OPTION VALUE='Spain' >Spain
<OPTION VALUE='Italy' >Italy
</SELECT>

When United Kingdom is selected, it is displayed and saved in the database as United and not United Kingdom. The same with USA.

Any ideas why?

Thanks
Kind of hard to say w/o seeing the code that processes the data. But, are you absolutely sure that the VALUE within the options is enclosed in quotes? If not, that would cause the behavior you are experiencing.

Plus, you should also use closing OPTION tags.
[code]<select name="country">
        <option value="err">Pick a Region</option>
        <option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>
        <option value="United States of America">United States of America</option>
        <option value="Spain">Spain</option>
        <option value="Italy">Italy</option>
      </select> [/code]

Try that or starters. If it still doesnt work (which I am sure it will) try putting an underscore ("_") inbetween the words of the values, although that shouldnt happen.

Hope that helped
