I'm trying to build an integrated page that requires input from the user via a forum. The variable in the form gets passed to the "script" file ok, but the space between words gets removed, so, for example, "Austin Healey" (a selection from a drop down on my form) becomes: "AustinHealey". Any idea why this happens and is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks,
Basil

is your form using POST or GET? Maybe the variable isn't being encoded properly.

Like this: <FORM ACTION="ubbthreads.php?ubb=mypage" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

And what does your input array look like on mypage.inc.php... maybe you have the resulting field being mapped incorectly?

is your form using POST or GET? Maybe the variable isn't being encoded properly. It looks like this: "input" => array(
"var1" => array("var1","post","alpha"),
Where var1 is the variable name that gets past via the form input. If the selection on the form is, for example, "Michael Jordan" then that gets passed in the var1 variable, but when it gets to the script file, (.inc.php) it looses the space and becomes "MichaelJordan"

Thats whats stripping the spaces from your variable change your var input to "var1" => array("var1","post",""),and the preg_replace function that is stripping your spaces won't mess with your variable anymore!

YES!!! That did it! Thanks! I guess the answer was right there in front of my face the whole time: "or just blank if it can contain any characters" and somehow I just zoned that out.

we've all been there. i for the life of me couldn't figure out why a file upload form I made wasn't working, when after 30 mins I realized that i had my form encoding wrong.

Yeah, sometimes the simplest problems can take the longest to figure out because your not looking for the obvious!
