Drop down list only posts first word

[mattichu]

for some reason my code only posts the first word of the username even tho the last names are in the database.

 

www.checkmyweave.co.uk/new/dropdown.php

 

dropdown.php

<?php

 

mysql_connect("localhost","****","****");

mysql_select_db("checkmyw_database") or die("Unable to select database");

 

?>

 

<form action="/new/dropdown2.php" Method="POST">

 

User:<select name="username">

<?php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members")

or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

echo "<option value=".$row['username'].">";

echo $row['username']."</option>";

}

?>

</select>

 

<form action="/new/dropdown2.php" METHOD="POST">

 

<input type = "submit" value="New!">

</form>

 

dropdown2.php

 

<?php

 

 

$username=$_POST["username"];

echo $username ;

?>

Use quotes around attributes and htmlentities on values.

echo "" . htmlentities($row["username"]) . "";
