Hello,
I desperately need help... I've based my entire project on the use of input text boxes that
can be read or edited. Its a web form that gets its data from mysql tables. For some reason when I
write the code this way and use single quotes ('), everything after a single quote in the
string gets truncated:
echo "<input $ca name=university[$y] value='$university[$y]'>";
But when I use double quotes (") like this:
echo "<input $ca name=university[$y] value=\"$university[$y]\">";
Everything after a " gets truncated in the text string. When I first input the data it goes
into the mysql database fine. The problem only lies in when I import the value into the html form.
I even tried writing the code like this:
echo "<input $ca name=university[$y] value=$university[$y]>";
And here is what the source code shows:
<input class=Inputa name=university[1] value=John's "Wayne">
But the input box shows only: John's
Oh, and I don't get the problem when I use <textarea> instead of <input> tags, but
they just won't do for the design.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
