[PHP] php as default "value" in html

[Andy B]

hi...

i have the following html line:
<input type="text" name="referred" value=<?echo $old['Referred'];?> accesskey="d" 
id="id-referred">
the php variable $old['Referred'] was pulled from a mysql table. the full string that 
this variable holds is "I work for you..." but when used as a default value in an 
input text field for html the only part that shows up in the form itself is "I". is 
there anything going on that im missing somewhere??
