Re: passing variables using hidden fields

your not putting it in quotes. echo " <input type=hidden name=people_name value=$people_name> "; change to echo " <input type='hidden' name='people_name' value='$people_name'> "; quotes are your friend :) -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com ""george"" <chiefmonkey@wisemonkeydesign.co.uk> wrote in message news:98tdl2$ps2$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... Hi, I am building a contact form, which goes into a db I them pull the information out and display it, then I pass the values to another page using hidden fields but for some reason even though it displays the full thing on the first page when I pass a variable to the next page it only displays the first word. so on the first page where it has pulled it from the db it will say "this is a test" next page it just says "test" TIA george -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
