Hi,
I have a form in which a drop down field is populated from a MySQL database.
I am also using sessions.
The problem is this. After I submit the form the session variable only shows
the part of the input before the space.
Example: if I choose Niagra Falls from the drop down list, then I only see
Niagra when I display it.
I'm not sure though if it is the session or the forms variable that is
causing the problem. I haven't been able to find much on this.
See code below....
Thanks
session_start( );
......Open database and connect to server.......
Include("connect.inc");
!! Start of form !!
<select name="province">
<option selected>-- Select Province --</option>
<?
$query = "select pid, location from province order by location"; $results =
mysql_query($query) or $mysqlerror = mysql_error(); if ($mysqlerror) {
$dberror = "Messed Up";
include("index.php");
exit;
}
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
if($line['pid'] == 1) {
echo "<Option
Value="$line['location'].">"$line['location']."</option>\n";
}
}
</select>
!! Rest of Form !!
