Input and mySQL

I am not sure if this is right forum, but well there is php, html and sql in this, so...

I am beginner and I am trying to fill form with values. I mean I am editing existing article (values are in mySQL database), so form is filled with current values...
I am getting values out of database with mysql_query and mysql_fetch_array. But I have problem.
When I use

php Code:

Original - php Code
<textarea><?=$value?></textarea>

<textarea><?=$value?></textarea>

I get good result, but when I use

php Code:

Original - php Code
<input value=<?=$value?>>

<input value=<?=$value?>>

I always get first word. When there is an empty space it doesn continue to fill form.
Ofcourse I can use textares, but is there way how to get good results from input?

RE: Input and mySQL

You'll need to put quotes around the value. Otherwise, only the first word is treated as a part of the value... While you're at it, also use htmlspecialchars to encode the quotes and whatnot, so they get passed properly...

php Code:

Original - php Code
<input value="<? echo htmlspecialchars($value)?>">

 
<input value="<? echo htmlspecialchars($value)?>">
