He's not reading the variables with html, right?
IMO form processing and creation ain't OT.

This is *so* OT. This is HTML. Ask a HTML group.

Or, if you really do want to have the content of the element sent back, just
omit the 'value' attribute on option.

You have to surround the value with quotes
Try this:
#v+
<?php
echo <<<HTML
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="x">
<option>one two three</option>
<option value="four five six">four five six</option>
<option value=seven eight nine>seven eight nine</option>
</select>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
HTML;
echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST) ; echo '</pre>';
?>

Countries in a select field
I have Countries in a drop-down list.
Any countries with more than one word are not captured properly in form
variables. Only the first word is captured to the variable. So, for
instance, if 'British Virgin Islands' is selected, only 'British' is
captured to the form variable.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
Thanks,
Scott
