Question

I am using PHP to get fields from my database I am using the following code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM product_form WHERE id=1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
   {
   $ProductName = $row['ProductName'];
   $ProductName1 = $row['ProductName1'];
   $ProductName2 = $row['ProductName2'];
   $ProductName3 = $row['ProductName3'];
   $ProductName4 = $row['ProductName4'];
   $ProductName5 = $row['ProductName5'];
   }

I then am displaying the filed on the page like this:

<? echo("<input type='text' name = 'product_name' size='29' value='$ProductName'/>");?>
<? echo("<input type='text' name = 'product_name1' size='29' value='$ProductName1'/>");?>
<? echo("<input type='text' name = 'product_name2' size='29' value='$ProductName2'/>");?>
<? echo("<input type='text' name = 'product_name3' size='29' value='$ProductName3'/>");?>
<? echo("<input type='text' name = 'product_name4' size='29' value='$ProductName4'/>");?>
<? echo("<input type='text' name = 'product_name5' size='29' value='$ProductName5'/>");?>

The problem I am facing is that ProductName & ProductName1 are displaying correctly but ProductName2, ProductName3, ProductName4, ProductName5 is only showing the first word from the database.

However when I view it in phpMyAdmin it is showing more then one word for the field.

I seem to be able to echo and display it on the page but can’t echo/display the full field in a text box, it seems to drop everything after a ‘space’ when displaying it in a text box but it does work when just displaying it on a page not in a text box.

Anyone know where I am going wrong?

Create new test.php and paste following code into it and run.

 $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");   //check mysql login credentials
 mysql_select_db("test",$con);   // change database name here
 $query = "SELECT * from product_form WHERE id = 1;";
 $rs = mysql_query($query);
 $row = mysql_fetch_array($rs);
 print_r($row);     // as you are using one record. no need of while loop

 echo "<Input type='text' name = 'product_name' value=".$row[ProductName].">";
 echo "<Input type='text' name = 'product_name1' value=".$row[ProductName1].">";
 echo "<Input type='text' name = 'product_name2' value=".$row[ProductName2].">";
 echo "<Input type='text' name = 'product_name3' value=".$row[ProductName3].">";
 echo "<Input type='text' name = 'product_name4' value=".$row[ProductName4].">";
 echo "<Input type='text' name = 'product_name5' value=".$row[ProductName5].">";

Now see what comes as result.
