<div>
in your php.ini do you have magic_qoutes turned on? 
</div>


<div>
if you do not want to use magic_quotes, which people tend not to use as it jumbles everything, you can encode the input with htmlentities or htmlspecialchars before assigning them<br />

<div>
You need to encode the string..<br />
Some characters are not allowed in URLs and POST data...<br />
Have <br />
<br />
look up the class urlencoder<br />

<div>
yeah just encoding the &quot;&nbsp;does fix this issue but there are others that will create similar issues later.<br />
<br />
Also if the data is going into a SQL query then make sure you escape it with something like mysql_escape_string to stop potential SQL injections
</div>


<div>
If you are assinging that value to another input field, try:<br />
$data = htmlentities($_POST['data'<wbr />]);<br />

In my HTML form, there is a text box. When I input word with character ( &quot;&nbsp;), <br />
example Tape 6&quot; , I only get Tape 6 in the next page, character &quot;&nbsp;was missing <br />
from the word. I used POST method to get the data.<br />
<br />
Form in 1st Page<br />
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;data&quot;&gt;<br />

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags.
