You have hit the nail on the head here. If you use your browser's "View Source" menu, you'll see the full value. NOTE: "View Source" is ALWAYS a good idea when what you see is not what you expect. If you want to display that data as HTML data, you would use: http://php.net/htmlentities which will translate the special characters into HTML entities, which will render correctly in browsers. You should use htmlentities right before you spit out the data, and be very careful not to confuse the data that has had htmlentities applied with the original. So, you might do: $email = ... /* get mysql result here, somehow */ $email_html = htmlentiites($email); echo "Email: $email_html<br />\n"; -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
