RE: [PHP] Strings in text fields are bad

You need to add slashes to your form field. eg $caddress = 12345 Abc Ave."; echo "<input type=text name=caddress value=\"$caddress\">"; It would probably also be a good idea to modify $caddress like follows: $caddress=stripslashes ( htmlspecialchars("12345 Abc Ave.")); So that any "'s in the address don't rebreak the value =" ...

It's very important that it prints all of it in there. I suppose this has something to do with the form field. Does it not like spaces?
