Thanks
I am filling in a select field in a form using the results from a sql query and filling it in like this:
Echo '<option value='.$row['username'].'>'.$row[userid].','.$row[username].'</option>';
When I post it into the next form I display it like this: Information for <U>'.$_POST['username'].'</U></span></p>';
For some reason it truncates at the first space in the username field
Although it displays in the select box exactly right
So "Mr Ed" would be "Mr" on the second form
Realized I broke the rules
Is their a prefered clipboard site?

you didnt quote the value
<option value=user name>
Is what it will be right now :)

[Roombor]

Ahh soo '<option value="'.$row['username'].'">

[ovigo22]

Yep
Also $row[userid] and $row[username] quote those keys :)

[Roombor]

Wow thanks, can't believe I missed that...hard to keep track of all the quotes when doing php ;)

[ovigo22]

Hehe yeah :)
Maybe look into a template engine
Makes your code a lot cleaner

I'm using UltraEdit which really isn't to intuitive.
