Only showing the letters before the space when passing a variable by form.

Here is my code:

<input name=question type=hidden value=<?php echo $question; ?>>

Say $question is "hello world" when I call it on the next page all I get is hello. anyone know what I can do to resolve this problem?

[marcus]

do this:

[code]
<?php
$question = "hello world";
?>
<input type=hidden name=question value="<?=$question?>">
[/code]

Always enclose attribute values within quotes!
[code]
<input name="question" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $question; ?>">
[/code]

Valid html helps.

[code]
<input name='question' type='hidden' value='<?php echo $question; ?>'>
[/code]

To mgallforever:

Get out of the habit of using the "<?=" short cut for "<?php echo". This and the short tag "<?" will be going away in PHP version 6.

They will remove support for the ASP style tags, but the PHP short-code tag will remain (<?) - so to those on php general who reckon the short-tag is 'depreceated' - hah! ;-)[/quote]
