title: When I use php to get the value of a select list using the post method sometimes the value doesn't fully show up
body: <p>When I use the post method and php to process a simple form, I try to echo the select list option and it doesn't all show up for instance one of my options is video card $200 and when it echos on card $200 shows up on the page.
  Here is the select list:<br></p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;select name="hardware"&gt;
   &lt;option&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option&gt;Monitor $100&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option&gt;Mother Board $250&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option&gt;Video Card $200&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option&gt;Keyboard $300&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><br>
  and here is the php code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  $parts=$_POST['hardware'];
  $partsQuantity=$_POST['hquantity'];
  $software=$_POST['software'];
  $softwareQuantity=$_POST['squantity'];
  echo "".$parts." ".$partsQuantity."&lt;br&gt;".$software." ".$softwareQuantity."&lt;br&gt;";
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I choose video card $200 and echo it only card $200 shows up</p>
