Using MYSQL and dropdowns

Question

Ok I almost got a dropdown pulling from my DB and posting to it as well to work. I got it to pull down the data and for it to submit to the DB. Still a stump. If I have example "ABC Trucking" as an option. It only posts "ABC" to table1. For whatever reason it doenst post two words? Any Ideas? See where the carriername dropdown is in the div.

My Code:

<?php

if (isset($_POST["submit"]) && $_POST["submit"] == "Submit")
{
    for ($count = 1; $count <= 9; $count++)
    {
        $fields[$count] = "";
        if (isset($_POST["field" . $count . ""]))
        {
            $fields[$count] = trim($_POST["field" . $count . ""]);
            //echo $fields[$count] . "<br />";
        }
    }

    $con = mysql_connect("local", "user", "pass");
    mysql_select_db("DB", $con);

    $carriername = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['carriername']);
    $fromzip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fromzip']);
    $tozip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['tozip']);
    $typeofequipment = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['typeofequipment']);
    $weight = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['weight']);
    $length = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['length']);
    $paymentamount = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['paymentamount']);
    $contactperson = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['contactperson']);
    $loadtype = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['loadtype']);

    $insert = "INSERT INTO table1 (`carriername` ,`fromzip` ,`tozip` ,`typeofequipment` ,`weight` ,`length` ,`paymentamount` ,`contactperson` ,`loadtype`) VALUES('$carriername' ,'$fromzip' ,'$tozip' ,'$typeofequipment' ,'$weight' ,'$length' ,'$paymentamount' ,'$contactperson' ,'$loadtype');";
    mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());

    $select = "SELECT `carriername` ,`fromzip` ,`tozip` ,`typeofequipment` ,`weight` ,`length` ,`paymentamount` ,`contactperson` ,`loadtype` FROM `table1` ORDER BY `paymentamount` DESC;";
    $result = mysql_query($select) or die(mysql_error());
}

Answer 1

instead of :

echo "<OPTION VALUE=".$row['carriername'].">".$row['carriername']."</OPTION>";

use this

echo "<OPTION VALUE='".$row['carriername']."'>".$row['carriername']."</OPTION>";

notice ' in ur value...concate '' to your value attr.. so that it makes it a string....

EDITED

echo "<select name='carriername'>";   
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){  
  echo "<OPTION VALUE=".$row['carriername'].">".$row['carriername']."</OPTION>"; 
} 
echo "</select>";
