//
//
// 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.
