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?

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.
