I know this is primary school stuff but.....

I can't remember how to take text from a textarea, pop
it into a database and then output it into a cfmail
tag (text only) and still keep the line breaks etc.

I have just found out I'm not getting paid 'till after
Christmas so please, no insults.


form.cfm
<form name="junk" action="action.cfm" method="post">
<textarea name="textstuff"></textarea>

action.cfm
<cfquery name="inserttext" datasource="mydsn">
INSERT INTO texttable (textfield)
VALUES ('#form.textstuff#')
</cfquery>
</form>

<cfmail type="text" otherattributes="here">
#form.textstuff#
</cfmail>

<cflocation url="display.cfm">


display.cfm <cfquery name="outputstuff" datasource="mydsn"> SELECT textfield FROM texttable WHERE tableid = (Select max(tableid) FROM texttable) </cfquery>

<cfoutput query="outputstuff">
#replace(outputstuff.textfield,chr(13)&chr(10),"<br>","ALL")#
</cfoutput>

Very rough, but I don't think there is anything missing. You may have to tinker with the replace to catch the CRLF/CR/LF - depending on which OS entered the text.

Any typos I blame on my cat who decided halfway through me typing this that I was the warmest place in the house and I should keep him warm too.
