I have finally tracked down the root cause to my original problem. I was using the select HTML construct a little too glibly. I was using it in the form: <?php $name .= "Space 9"; echo "<form action='submit.php' enctype='text/plain'>\n"; echo "<select name='stationName' >\n"; echo "<option>\n"; echo "$name\n"; echo "</select>\n"; echo "<p><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>\n"; echo "<input type='reset' name='reset' value='Reset'>\n"; echo "</form>"; ?> i.e not providing a value attribute on the option construct to be passed to the submitted form, and so the stationName contained the *rendered* string, not the string that was input. Thanks again to all who sent suggestions. I guess one still has things to learn after 10+ years using HTML.
