xProteuSx Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have a form that follows this format: <input type="text" name="edit_school" size="20" maxlength="35" value="Michigan Tech"> When I submit the info to another page, I do the following to display the value of 'edit_school' via php: $editschool = $_POST['edit_school']; echo $editschool; If the input value is a string with a space in it, the output is cut short. So, for example, if the default value stays the same (Michigan Tech) the output is simply 'Michigan'. If I enter University of Chicago the output becomes 'University'. What can I do to display the entire string? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79657-solved-input-field-cuts-data-after-space/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 something else is being done to the post value - search your code for anything that will strip null characters or similar...

xProteuSx Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have no code for stripping any characters, or anything of the sort. I'm thinking that between the retrieval of a value from a DB and displaying it as a default value in a form either PHP or HTML clips the value by default.
