logicopinion Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 hey. using this code i want to print out the content of the databse in forms where i can edit them and then update again <form action="index.php?p=itm1" method="post"> <table border="0" cellpading="1" cellspacing="0"> <TR><TD height="50" class="titles" colspan="3" align="center"> თუ გსურსთ მენიუს დაამატოთ ახალი ჩანართი, ჩაწერეთ ახალი ჩანართის სახელი</TD></TR> <?php include("includes/vars.php"); mysql_connect("$hostname", "$username", "$password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("$database") or die(mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT * FROM $navigation ORDER BY id ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print "<form ection=\"update_menu.php\ method=\"post\">"; print "<table class='titles' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='100%'>"; print "<TR><TD style=\"BORDER-TOP:1px #f9f9f9 solid; BORDER-BOTTOM:1px #f9f9f9 solid; BORDER-RIGHT:1px #f9f9f9 solid; BORDER-LEFT:1px #f9f9f9 solid;\"; height=\"30\"><input class=\"login\" type=\"text\" size=\"50\" value=".$row['item']."></TD></TR>"; print "</table>"; } ?> when i tried just to echo to row['item'] everything was fine but now i am trying to output them in a form where it can be edited.. and here it comes with an error. this is the list of the names of links which are listed on my web pages navigation menu. forexaple > news > staff > bulletin board > etc.. and when i output this items using echo they are choed as they are in database... (some of them consist of two words (bulletin board) forexample) but when i output them in a form. like this <input type=\"text\" value=".$row['item']."> it comes whith such error. if using comand echo "bulletin board was echoed" in form instead of "bulletin boar" only word bulletin is echoed.. mean second word is lost somewhere... have no idea why? any suggestations? thank you Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90957-outputting-db-content-in-a-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

craygo Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 If there is a space in the name you have to enclose it in quotes <input class=\"login\" type=\"text\" size=\"50\" value=\"".$row['item']."\"> also you may want to give the input a name or pretty much going to be useless Ray Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90957-outputting-db-content-in-a-form/#findComment-467912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
