Data Truncated

Help.. My data is truncated when updating to the database. I have two pages. "Edit page" and "form page" I added some debug codes in my page. My results:- (echo $t1_client) In edit page - t1_client = "Company ABC" Before submitting in form page - t1_client = "Company ABC" After submitting back to edit page - t1_client = "Company" I cannot spot any thing missing, so I was hoping for some experts here to help me out. Here is my form page:- (the field is $t1_client) <select size="1" name="t1_client" >

        <option value=<? if ($t1_client) echo $t1_client; else echo $jobs_cust['jobs_cname'] ?>>
        <? if ($t1_client) echo $t1_client; else echo $tt_client; ?>
        <? client_pull_down(); ?>
      </select>
