[MYSQL] problem with spaces in rows
Hello.
I'm not sure how I can get around this, or what I am doing wrong, but I need some help.
I want to do an select query looking like this:
Unfortunately I need to have spaces in the names in these fields,
is there a way to get around it?
THe page I am making has an drop down menu, which is beeing populated by these names, and uppon selecting one of them, the above query will be issued.
THis is the full code that I am trying to use...
Everything else is working on the page.. except this. :/
