Try this: <input name="Comments" id="Comments" type="text" value="<?=htmlspecialchars($row_orderComments['PPassValue'])?>" /> This will remove formatting issues that may result from any PHP syntax. Also, make absolutely sure that the first quotation mark is in the position shown in your sample, and that the htmlspecialchars function is not replacing spaces with &nbsp;
