Major Issue Outputting Information for Updating…

I am trying to update a database entry from a web browser. However, whenever I call the entry, the Title would only display partly and not entirely.

For example, if the title was meant to be “USEFUL TILTE”, and I clicked edit, then when they form loads, the title field would just display “USEFUL” and I would have to manually type in “TITLE” so the update could be properly done.
Can anyone have a look at my code below and tell me if they can tell why the TITLE is being cut off and only the first word of the title string appears. Remember, this only happens when I go to update the database entry, no adding it. Just editing it.

[code]<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript” src=”jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js”></script>
<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
// Notice: The simple theme does not use all options some of them are limited to the advanced theme
tinyMCE.init({
mode : “textareas”,
theme : “simple”
});
</script>
<?php
if(session_id() == “”){
session_start();
}
header(“Cache-control: private”); // IE 6 Fix.
Authenticate();
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
$today = date(“Y-m-d”);

{
$_POST = array_map(‘stripslashes’, $_POST);

$id = intval($_REQUEST[‘id’]);

$day = intval($_REQUEST[‘day’]);
$del=$_REQUEST[‘del’];

if(isset($submit))
{
$fulldate = $year . “-” . $month . “-” . $date;

if($submit == ‘Delete’)
{

@NogDogAug 26.2007 — Make sure you quote all form values. For example, this line...
[code=php]
<input type='hidden' name='id' value=<?php echo($id); ?>>
[/code]
...should be...
[code=php]
<input type='hidden' name='id' value='<?php echo($id); ?>'>
[/code]
