This seems to be more of a HTML problem.
Form fields simply canīt print out ". You need to change the " to " in
order for it to appear.
This can be done using the function htmlspecialchars():
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php
In your case:
<?php echo htmlspecialchars("$desc1"); ?>">
You can test these two things to see the difference:
1. <input type="text" name="name" value="this has a "">
2. <input type="text" name="name" value="this does not have a "">
