[SOLVED] variable in form

[richardbeaumont]

I have a form where the value of a hidden input area is a variable.  This works fine when the value of the variable is a single word.  However if it is two words - only the first word actually goes into the form.

 

why and how can I fix.  I am a newbie.

Any more clues? Or do we guess?

 

Please post the code that you have already.

here is my code.

 

the first echo is just to prove that the variable appears fine when it is not in the form, the second is where the variable is the value for the form field.

 

 

<!--

echo $rowcomp;

echo "<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='reviewform.php' method='post' target='_blank'><input type='text' value="; echo $rowcomp; echo "  name='company'><p id='alignright'>Add you own review: <input type='submit' value='Click Here'/>

</form></p>";

 

--!>

When the variable has a vlaue 'Company Name' I get this:

 

Company Name [Company  ]  (square brackets for the form field)

 

In other words if there is a space in the value of the variable, only the first part appears - and when I submit the form - the post comes out with just the first half.

 

Any help appreciated.

Try

 

echo $rowcomp;
echo "<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='reviewform.php' method='post' target='_blank'>
<input type='text' value='" . $rowcomp . "'  name='company'>
<p id='alignright'>Add you own review: <input type='submit' value='Click Here'/>
</form></p>";

Thank you!  Its always the little things - the single quote around the value that was missing.
