[SOLVED] Values cut short at Space

[xProteuSx]

I have a bunch of values in a MySQL DB and I am trying to access them and make them default values in a form using the following format:

 

<input type="text" name="edit_school" size="40" maxlength="40" value=' . $row[0] . '>

 

Now, if the value of $row[0] is, say, 'Michigan Tech' and I display it using echo $row[0]; I get the value 'Michigan Tech'.  However, when I try to display the value of $row[0] in the form using <input type="text" name="edit_school" size="40" maxlength="40" value=' . $row[0] . '> the value shown as the default value is 'Michigan'.  It seems the displayed value is always cut short following a space.

 

Please help.  I had this working, then it didn't, then it did again, and now it is not working anymore.  Its close to crazy time.  :'(

post the entire script,

or at least a big chunk

of the script so that we

can better check for

errors or solutions.

Ideally, you should have posted the exact PHP code you used.

 

I'm not totally understanding your problem, but look into using this function on the value:

I finally figured it out!

 

This doesn't work:

 

<input type="text" name="edit_school" size="40" maxlength="40" value=' . $row[0] . '>

 

This does:

 

<input type="text" name="edit_school" size="40" maxlength="40" value="' . $row[0] . '">

 

It was just the extra set of quotation marks that did it.
