perhaps you are parsing out the spaces before inserting the vars in the database? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alberto Brea" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 7:58 AM Subject: [PHP] Spaces collapsed in database
Hi, list I had certain information in a text file, which showed ok upon fopen() and parsing, but when I put it into a MySQL database, instead of echoing directly into the browser, the spaces in the strings collapsed, so that "One Two & Three" became "OneTwo&Three" in the database table. When I retrieve this the spaces remain collapsed. Can anybody tell me what I did wrong, or what can I do to prevent this from happening? Please find the code below Thank you, Alberto // QUERY 1: INSERT RECORDS INTO TABLE contacts // DEFINE VARIABLES FOR QUERY 1 $sex=$info[1]; $lang=$info[2]; $pretreat=$info[3]; $fname=$info[4]; $lname=$info[5]; $posttreat=$info[6]; $contabbr=$info[9]; $persweb=$info[10]; $idactiv=$info[11]; $unsubscribe=$info[14]; $ent=$info[7]; $city=$info[13]; $email=$info[8]; $random=$info[14]; // DEFINE QUERY 1 $sql1= "INSERT INTO contacts SET sex='$sex', lang='$lang', pretreat='$pretreat', fname='$fname', lname='$lname', posttreat='$posttreat', contabbr='$contabbr', persweb='$persweb', idactiv='$idactiv', unsubscribe='$unsubscribe', ent='$ent', city='$city', email='$email', random='$random', date= CURDATE()"; // RUN QUERY 1 if(!mysql_query($sql1)): echo("Unable to add contact: ". mysql_error() .
