[PHP] Repopulating forms

[Gerard L Petersen]

Hi

My code looks like this.

?PHP
$test = gerard's name is \gerard\;
echo $test.br;
echo 'input type=text name=test2 value='.$test.'br';
?

form action=test2.php method=post
 input type=text name=foo value= /
 input type=submit name=sub value=submit

/form


When i run it the bit after the quotes are truncated. Where it truncates
depends on what type of quote i am using.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gerard

  My code looks like this.
 
  ?PHP
  $test = gerard's name is \gerard\;
  echo $test.br;
  echo 'input type=text name=test2 value='.$test.'br';
  ?

 Just like HTML doesn't render newlines, it also doesn't understand using
the
 \ character as an escape character. You are creating this:

 input type=text name=test2 value=gerard's name is gerard

 So, HTML takes the first bit between double quotes and ignores the rest as
a
 unknown attribute.

 Run htmlentities() on $test before putting it in the INPUT element to
change
 the quotes to HTML entities.
