Thanks - Done that though. It shows the way it should be.
Example: <option value=Niagara Falls>Niagara Falls</option>
which of course is wrong.... and explains perfectly why you are getting
the results you are getting...
it *should* display:
<option value="Niagra Falls">Niagra Falls</option>
(View source is a powerful tool!)

Perhaps you should load up your initial form and then use the "view source"
option in your browser as this will probably give you insight into your
problems...

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 !!
