悬停文本仅显示第一个单词

Question

I am trying to display popup text when I hover over some other text. The popup text will only display the first word. I am rather new to php and such, so I hope this is not an idiotic question, but what am I doing wrong here?

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($data)) {
    $description = $row[2];
    echo $description;  //output:  "Get an Automatic..."
    echo "<a title=$description>";  //Hover output:  "Get"
    echo "blah blah blah";
    echo "</a>;
}

Answer 1

You need to wrap them with quotes:

echo "<a title='$description'>"

Sidenote: It's also important that you might get strings like this:

Get an automatic test's

That will surely mess up that quoting, and terminate it early, might be better to add htmlspecialchars() in that case:

$description = htmlspecialchars($row[2], ENT_QUOTES);
