Re: [PHP-DB] posting information from a textarea
The inputs are posting, but the textarea still isn't. Argh!

stripslashes should not be needed... if anything addslashes() may be needed if you have single quotes in the text area.

I have a form that posts data into a database and there are input fields which seem to post the data fine. I know this because the entry is changing in the database, but the text area text doesn't seem to be posting. I double checked to make sure i got the names right, but it still doesn't seem to be working. Before I put it into the database I'm using stripslashes. I thought that might of been the problem and I changed it to trim, but that didn't work.

[PHP-DB] posting information from a textarea
I seem to be having a problem posting text from a text area. I have a form that posts data into a database and there are input fields which seem to post the data fine. I know this because the entry is changing in the database, but the text area text doesn't seem to be posting. I double checked to make sure i got the names right, but it still doesn't seem to be working. Before I put it into the database I'm using stripslashes. I thought that might of been the problem and I changed it to trim, but that didn't work. In the database, the field that I'm putting it into is a longtext type with fulltext. -- Dave W
