Right, but what I had hoped for was an sample of actual output,

Stick the output into a div, and the code into a textarea to display the
source

Oops, sorry, I can't get used to the bottom-posting convention after 
spending 20 years usually top-posting! :-[


Well, I believe I've found my problem, and, once again, I am embarrassed 
to say that it is a pretty simple and foolish error on my part.  I was 
putting this HTML in a value= parameter in the textarea field, 
instead  of just putting it between the textarea name=. and 
/textarea tags  It's amazing how simple these problems are once 
you know the solution, and how difficult and exasperating they seem to 
be when you don't!


Thanks to everyone who helped me wrestle with this.  Your input is much 
appreciated, and always helpful, no matter what the solution turns out 
to be.

I ran into something just like that recently... and completely agree  
with you!

[PHP] storing and then displaying HTML for update

2008-07-24 Thread Rod Clay
I'm writing a php application which includes accepting and storing HTML 
for routine display by the application.  All of this seems to be working 
fine.


However, I also want to display the raw HTML for administrators of the 
system to update as necessary.  I just discovered that this does NOT 
seem to be working.  When I attempt to put this raw HTML into a textarea 
field on my page, I get unpredictable results.


There must be a way to do this, since I've seen this done in other php 
applications.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  Is there some way to 
do this other than to put all of this raw HTML into a textarea field, or 
is there some technique for getting it successfully into a textarea 
field?  I'm stumped right now.


Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Rod

It's probably not being escaped properly when it's being put in the
textarea - which means a  in the content will close the textarea and
start it's own tags etc.

Try:

$textarea_content = htmlspecialchars($content, ENT_QUOTES);

What is being displayed in your textarea when you output the raw HTML?
