Re: [PHP] Text area with an echo command

[Will]

John,
I have that script:
$sql = "UPDATE $table_name5 SET
    care_id = '$_POST[care_id]',
    date = '$_POST[date]',
    common = '$_POST[common]',
    notes = '$_POST[notes]'
    WHERE notes_id ='$_POST[notes_id]'";
   
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());

header("Location: main.php");
exit;
But my question is when I hit the submit button and check the database 
it has nothing in the "notes" field.  I tried a hidden field in the 
modify script but it did not work.

That worked great!!  But how do I get the info from the modify script 
back into the database??  With that code: 
<textarea>$value</textarea>  It does not populated the database with 
the new text that was modified.  Is there another way to do it??  I 
am learning PHP on my own so bare with me.

You'll have to submit the form, and run an update query on your database.

Here is the code that I am using:
<p><b>Notes:</b><br>
<textarea rows=5 cols=31 name=\"notes\" value=\"$notes\" 
wrap=virtual></textarea></p>




There is no "value" attribute for a textarea...

<textarea>$value</textarea>
