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. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
