mysql only stores one word?

[Nate Sanden]

Hey im pretty new to mysql, but I made a basic html form and used php to post it to my 
mysql database. It goes in fine, but it only carries the first word in each input box. 
So say for "description" I put in "My little white dog" it only stores "My" in the 
database. Would appreciate any insight you may have! Thanks.
