Re: Truncated values in update form

hello Alberto, try to use some quotes at the 'value' attribute: instead of this: > "Name<input type=text name=fname value=$fname><br>" . > "Surname<input type=text name=lname value=$lname><br>" . try this: > "Name<input type=text name=fname value="$fname"><br>" . > "Surname<input type=text name=lname value="$lname"><br>" .
