Okay, when showing an image, I want the alt & title to be one of my mysql fields.

alt=".htmlspecialchars($row['artist'])." title=".htmlspecialchars($row['artist']).">";

That's the code for them currently. It only takes the first word from the field though! How can I get it to take everything from that field?
Thanks

$artist = htmlspecialchars($row['artist']);

alt=".$artist." title=".$artist.">";

Try that, idk if it will fix it, im thinking it will, ive never had that happen to me before

Theres no need to have it like this:

alt=".$artist."

if it isn't an array. Also tgs, why are you using htmlspecialchars from the database?

$artist = $row['artist'];

alt=\"$artist\" title=\"$artist\">";

That should work. I escaped the quotes, I dont't know how you had it without them being escaped.

Works perfectly, although $artist = $row['artist']; isn't needed.
Thank you.

btw, you should be htmlspecialchar'ing before entering it into the database
