i have made a form which adds an employee.if the user makes a mistake like typing a 8 digit number instead of 7 digit number then i call the same form which retains his/her previous values and gives an error message.all works fine apart from that if there is a space in between user words like name=Charlie brown then upon error wen page is shown again with previously typed values,it shows Charlie only.if some one can tell me how o get the space and the other half name back in the same txt field.

code is like this:

CODE

@$name=$_POST['name'];
@$phone=$_POST['phone'];

Use the urldecode function available to you in PHP


php

$name = urldecode($_REQUEST['name']);
$company = urldecode($_REQUEST['company']);
echo "name: ".$name;
echo "company: ".$company;

Try it with speech marks round your php statement, like this:

CODE

<input type="text" name="name" size=24 value="<? echo $name; ?>">

Yup, you've got to break the statement with the quote marks. For future reference, if you had posted all of the code before hand...

Also, please be sure to use code brackets.
