[PHP] mysql field getting cut off
If anyone can help I seem to be stuck on a problem getting a mysql field inserted correctly. For instance the first page would have a field such as... input type=text name=field size=12 info that is placed into the field is St. Petersburg, FL (without the quotes) the php code for the statement... $query = insert into table values( $variable, '$field', $variable2 ); This is where there are 3 fields in the table and the second is the one I want populated with St. Petersburg, FL. It ends up with St. (I'm not sure if the period makes it). I have verified that the entire statement arrives at the php script in the variable $field and I have used the mysql client to give the same command with St. Petersburg, FL as the value and it accepts it without a problem.

When you run a SELECT from the command line, do you only see St. in the column? What kind of column is it? Are you sure it's not fine in the database and you're just showing it like: input type=text value=$value name=field which will end up like input type=text value=St. Petersburg, FL name=field and will only show St. in the text box... ---John W.

That, indirectly, is exactly what happened. I have a subsequent screen for modifying the results. I must have gone back into that screen to change something else and since it only pulled the St. when I applied it it changed the field in the database. Thanks a lot. It seemed weird. Larry S.
