As Andrew pointed out, you need to use htmlspecialchars()
echo textarea cols=80 rows=30 .htmlspecialchars($contents).
/textarea;
The reason for that is because the text may contain html control
characters like ' which the browser will attempt to interpret.
http://php.net/htmlspecialchars
I usually use htmlentities() instead

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database
Well, its not exactly a 'problem' at all. The textarea just does what its meant to do - accept raw text input and lets you process it via form action. This is neither a PHP or a HTML 'problem'. The reason you cannot see the line breaks when you echo the text on your browser is the fact that the browser does not recognize '\n' as a line break; it only recognizes 'br /'. Coming to the pre tag, pre stands for preformatted; it tells the browser to output the text in the raw format as it is. Hence it displays properly. -Sterex On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 7:54 PM, PHPScriptor cont...@phpscriptor.comwrote: Yes, I thought about that.

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database
@Robert: True. I was assuming that the text was going to be final and not being edited again. @PHPScriptor: If you do have a lot of textareas to work around with, why don't you give TinyMCE a try. Thats the best option you have got. It replaces the textarea into more of a html compatible one and when you are editing the text again, it will be properly formatted. You'll also get toolbars for text editing etc., more like your mail compose window right now. :) -Sterex On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 7:56 PM, Robert Cummings rob...@interjinn.comwrote: On Fri, 2009-05-15 at 19:48 +0530, Manoj Sterex wrote: Well, instead of storing the text from the textarea directly into the db, validate it and wrap it with br / tags (replace \n) and then store it.

Trust me when I say in the grand scheme of things a call to nl2br is extremely cheap so I really wouldn't worry about how much you use it. If you don't know whether you're using a input field or a textarea I really think you need to examine your code carefully before proceeding. If you know to spit out a textarea then you know it's a textarea. Or maybe I'm missing something. The reason this problem exists is due to HTML compressing concurrent white space into a single space. This can be a very useful feature but is not immediately obvious to newcomers. If you're not familiar with HTML I suggest you put PHP down for a while and have a play with pure HTML - it'll be time well-invested. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ Stuart-47 wrote: 2009/5/15 PHPScriptor cont...@phpscriptor.com: Hello, How do you guys handle this problem.

@tedd: Its just another way of looking at the things. Putting HTML into the DB is not really wrong (perhaps in this context it is). If you do have HTML in the DB, you can directly echo it out and use CSS to style it accordingly.

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database
PHPScriptor wrote:
Hello,
How do you guys handle this problem.
Just a form with a textarea. When I use enters in the textarea it's saved to
the db like this:
database:
first line
second line
when I edit the value in the form:
first line
second line
when I output the value to html:
first linesecond line (unless I use nl2br())
Is there a way that I could save it to the db that will work for db, output
and edit without using any other function like nl2br?
I run all text area through a filter that removes the carriage return [
preg_replace('/\r/','',$input) ] and save it in the database with any
newline characters.
When calling data from the database, I can then use newline as a
delimiter for explode generate an array where each element of the array
is a distinct line of text - and then do whatever I want with the lines.
Effectively what I usually do is the same thing as nl2br - but since I
do everything in DOMDocument I have to do it myself (create text nodes
for each array element and create break nodes between them).
If I'm going to a pre field or back to a text area (IE to edit the data)
then I don't have to do anything.
I do NOT recommend running nl2br before it goes into the database - as
that means you may have to convert the breaks when re-using the data
elsewhere, and the proper way to make a break depends upon the output
type (IE br for html or br / for xhtml, etc.) - so keep the newline
character in the database and convert to what you need when you call the
data from the database.

The file permissions are not set right, Apache is not able to read the PHP

That should fix it.

and you don't have to check for $result, as the die statement would
cause your script to stop executing if there was an error, so if it gets

They are using Red Hat Linux / Ensim Pro 4.0.2, PHP 4.3.10, and Apache
2.0.
The problem: When a lot of text is entered into a textarea on a form,
the
text that shows up in the $_POST['textarea'] variable has the text
that was
entered, but it is duplicated. This is causing problems for their
forums.
Here is a very simple script I placed on the server:
www.tidefans.com/textarea_test.php (code below)
When I place the same script on another server I have access to, the
textarea text is posted fine.
Is this a PHP setting somewhere that I'm missing?
Here is the code for the PHP script mentioned above:
html
head
titleTest PHP Script/title
/head
body
form method=post action=textarea_test.php name=Form1
textarea cols=50 rows=20 name=textarea

Re: [PHP] textarea posting duplicate text
It's definitely on your end:
http://www.orourke.ca/test.php
I verified your issue on your server and could not reproduce it on mine.
Our phpinfo data looks the same.
Here's a hunch. Try calling output buffering at the top of your page:
ob_start();
I have this on my site to allow for mid-page redirects. I have no idea
if this is the cause. Just an idea. Perhaps an Apache 2 issue? Can
any one else confirm this on Apache 2 / PHP 4.3.10?

Have you verified that the POST data itself is doubled?...
This sounds REALLY weird to me...
This is causing problems for their forums.
Here is a very simple script I placed on the server:
www.tidefans.com/textarea_test.php (code below)
When I place the same script on another server I have access to, the
textarea text is posted fine.
Is this a PHP setting somewhere that I'm missing?
There's certainly on double long POST data setting :-)
It could be a bug in PHP or Apache -- Search their bug databases.
http://bugs.php.net/ for PHP.
http://apache.org/ should lead you to it for Apache.
You're on your own for Ensim Pro, whatever that is.
I would also recommend that you start LOGGING the text inputs that are
giving problems as they come in.
EG:
?php
$input = $_POST['input'];
$len = strlen($input);
if ($len 10 substr($input, 0, $len/2) == substr($input, $len/2)){
error_log(Double Input: $input);
}
?
This may lead you to finding some commonality in the input text other than
length that is not immediately apparent right now.
Actually, I guess you *COULD* just use the code above or similar to
automatically strip out the doubled text -- But document/comment the hell
out of that unless you want to confuse every developer that ever looks at
it!!!

htmlentities!
Thanks a lot for taking the time but it was just my nubie error.
What had me going all off in the wrong direction was textarea fields don't
need htmlentities to display quotes correctly like a text field does.
you know like this: value=some text with important info
Displays in textarea fine but in type=text of course you get
some text

Re: [PHP] textarea/display question...
Anything inside that textarea actually get's displayed. So they will actually see that HTML. I don't know of a way to actually highlight sections within the text area, and I don't think there is one. You could highlight the text outside of the textarea though.

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...
Have you considered an imbedded frame? (Looks like a textarea, with the ability to imbed all types of controls (and tables) within it). I'm not sure that all browsers support IFRAME yet, but the most widely used one does. Another approach would be to use sprinf() formatting to imbed leading/trailing spaces to allow everything to line up, assuming your text area uses a fixed pitch font like courier. Course since the control is an input control, trust your users are going to screw up the alignment, and don't count on getting the data back all neatly lined up.

First of all, textareas don't have a value attribute, you put the text between the textarea tags. Second, you simply can't do that. Textareas are normal text only.

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...
Yes, but by nature, it must be a separate form. What appears in the IFRAME is like any other frame, an entire web page, and as a separate web page and separate form, it must have it's own submit button (within the form). Course you could cause some of the other controls on the form to trigger the submit, like changing a selection on a select list; select name=fmyselect onChange=this.form.submit(); option value='a'this is a/option /select Hope this helps, Warren Vail -Original Message- From: bruce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:51 AM To: Vail, Warren; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] textarea/display question... vail... with an iframe... can i allow the user to make changes... and then capture the data as a value for a post within a form..??? in other words...does it closely give me what a textarea does with regards to allowing a user to make mods to the information? -thanks.. ps.. to you guys who said that the textarea doesn't have a value=''.. it does... -Original Message- From: Vail, Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...
That is a tough question to answer simply, but the basic answer is yes.
What appears in the IFRAME is actually another web page, complete with it's
own set of controls and it's own form, and something to trigger the
submission of that form (separately from the page containing the IFRAME).
Suppose your entire form consisted of a collection of text controls (one for
each cell in your table);
Assume you have your data in a 2 dimension array $darray. To display the
array on a page;
Echo table;
For($row = 0; $row $height; $row++) {
echo tr;
for($col = 0; $col $width; $col++) {
echo tdinput type=text name=\farray[.$row.][.$col.]\
.value=\.$darray[$row][$col].\/td\n;
}
echo /tr;
}
Echo /table;
This would look much like a VB grid control, notice that a table by itself
is not an input type control. This is just one solution, and so many are
available. Notice that the form will return a multi-dimension array;
$returnarray = $_GET[farray];
Hope this gets you started.

Re: [PHP] textarea/display question...
you can set designmode on a iframe to make it editable if you like, you can use javascript to use commands from the browser on the iframe even. And textarea may have a value attribute, however the element is meant to tag its displayed value from between the open and close tags.

[PHP] textarea problem
Hi, I'm not sure if this is purely a PHP problem but here it goes: i have a form that sends text data to a PHP script, i have some textarea field which goes like this: TEXTAREA wrap=soft NAME=mynote ROWS=15 COLS=70/TEXTAREA everytime i POST this, $mynote is truncated to 1867 bytes, i have repeatedly tried to submit text 2500 bytes long but it's always truncated to that size -btw there is no javascript or anything in the middle that might modify the size- my questions is: do i have to setup anything special in my php.ini? i have this in my php.ini: post_max_size = 30M I have also noticed that Hotmail has no problem sending textarea input 2500 bytes long or more using exactly the same tags.. what's wrong then? I use Apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.1.1 (on RedHat 7.1) if anyone has encountered this problem b4, i'd appreciate some help.

[PHP] textarea/textarea
Hi, I have the following probably very simple problem. Basically what I need to do is to collect info from the user via 4 steps... like a set of input type(s) throughout STEP 1 of 4 ... STEP 4 of 4... etc... submitted to db on STEP 5. The only problem I have is I need to display textarea on step 3, and once again the same textarea on step 4 so that user has another chance to review what s/he's written in and on the fifth page all date submitted to db. The problem though is that it adds slashes, and on the submission page (page 5) there's like three slashes for the info collected via textarea. Basically, for instance I submit I'm Russian on step 3, by the time this data reached final step it's I\\\'m Russian. How can I overcome this issue? If I avoid putting variable taken from step 3 to 4th into textarea name=about_eng $about_eng/textarea and do input type=hidden name=about_eng value=about_eng half of the data gets lost, only first word from the submitted previously remains... Hope this was descriptive and hope someone can suggest something. Thanks, Vlad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] textarea
Hi, I've got a strange HTML problem... When I have a textarea, and put a large text in it, the submit button isn't working if the text is very long, but it is working till a certain amount of characters (didn't check out which amount) I can click as many times as i want on the submit button, as long as my text isn't shorter, it won't submit any solutions?

i think you don't understand the problem it's just a textarea, no php has to do with it: textarea name='test'/textarea when i try to FILL it with tekst (so, in my browser) it is working for a certain amount of characters, but above it, the submit button is clickable, but doesn't take any action...

I think, what he's trying to say is check to make sure it's not an errant quote and not a string length issue.
