What could be causing only a part of the database entry to appear in the input field when using mysql_result in PHP?

This issue could be caused by the data being truncated due to the input field having a limited size. To solve this, you can use the PHP function `htmlspecialchars` to encode the data before displaying it in the input field. This will ensure that all the data is displayed properly without any truncation. 

<?php
// Fetch the data from the database
$data = mysql_result($result, 0);

// Encode the data using htmlspecialchars
$encoded_data = htmlspecialchars($data);

// Display the data in the input field
echo "<input type='text' value='$encoded_data'>";
?>
