RE: [PHP-DB] Truncated Data

Try using the specialcharacters, and htmlenteties functions... those should to the trick. As long as you are getting the appropriate into the right place. -----Original Message----- From: Larentium [mailto:larentium@hosthive.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 7:40 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Truncated Data 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. Larentium larentium@hosthive.com -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
