php echoing an initial value in a form

[forrest]

I am setting up a page to edit existing mysql records. I have everything working except for one form feild where the text includes "quotation" marks. Using echo in the form feild it includes everything up to the first ".

Note: I tried echoing the $size variable just on the page (ie not in the form feild) and it prints everything including the ".

code for form is:

<input type="Text" name="size" value="<?php echo $size ?>" size="30">

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

well, of course the browser thinks that " is the ending " for the value="" attribute. just use htmlspecialchars():

<input type="Text" name="size" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($size) ?>" size="30">

Thanks Dr Larry Pepper - the exact code that I got to work is:

<?php echo htmlspecialchars($size); ?>

That got it working.
