RE: [PHP-DB] TEXTAREA ...
do i understand the question correctly? you are getting a "" when you are expecting a "" ? if that's the case then the simple answer (and as Jason pointed out, this is in the manual) is that it's the same thing, but with the " /" in it, it becomes XHTML compliant. As copied directly from the manual; --- Note: Starting with PHP 4.0.5, nl2br() is now XHTML compliant. All versions before 4.0.5 will return string with '' inserted before newlines instead of ''. --- enjoy and please don't under-estimate the quality of the manual (www.php.net/manual/en/) because it, combined with some sample code from around the place (and a bunch of spare time!) is really all you need to get going :) Beau // -Original Message- // From: José Moreira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Thursday, 18 July 2002 11:19 PM // To: 'Martin Clifford'; Php-Db (Correio electrónico) // Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] TEXTAREA ... // // // good day/afternoon/night // // why do i get this : // // $content = htmlentities($content); // // when i insert this : // // $content = htmlentities($content);[new line] // // using this : // // $thePost = // nl2br(addslashes(htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS["POST"]))); // // when i want this : // //$content = htmlentities($content); // // and i sometimes get // // // // // once again sorry for asking non-db questions // // good work // // // -Mensagem original- // De: Martin Clifford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Enviada: quarta-feira, 17 de Julho de 2002 15:02 // Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Assunto: Re: [PHP-DB] TEXTAREA ... // // // Yup.

RE: [PHP-DB] TEXTAREA ...
Jose: When you have a problem such as this. It's best to reduce or limit the possible problems that could be causing it. It looks as though you want to basically format your database content to preserve new lines and the like. If I were you I'd start by just using nl2br(), then when you use htmlspecialchars() it has a similar function when it comes across new lines. (as well as reformatting HTML entities) Check also whether you need to use addslashes() as PHP4.2.1 has magic quotes turned off: magic_quotes_gpc off (Check your phpinfo.php file or write one yourself.)

RE: [PHP-DB] TEXTAREA ...
Guys, My instincts tell me to keep out of this spat, but what the hey... 1) Perhaps it is wise not to make gratuitous, patronizing replies, such as "RTFM," to requests for information. Better to let the question pass and keep your thoughts to yourself. 2) Perhaps it is wise not to use words like "_ass_" and "_prick_" in a public mailing list putatively devoted to the pusuit of knowledge. You can figure out which point applies to which combatant. /* Cryptic signatures are for the self-important; Cuss words are for the linguistically challenged; To the best of your ability, be at peace with all men (and women). */ Fred Woolsey -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] TEXTAREA ...

RE: [PHP-DB] textarea and mysql query
You problem lies in the html that you are outputting.
For normal html tags, you use the "value" attribute to initialize
the default display. For tags, you do not use the "value"
attribute; instead, enclose what you want displayed between the openining
tag and the closing tag. For example:
Please edit this textarea

If the "wel_area" is a TEXT field in the database, why the array treatment.
I have a database that contains several TEXT fields that I can call up and
edit. To do that I bring the data into a textarea.
Here's part of my code:
The SQL query:
$sql = "SELECT subj, body, info, fname, lname, title, city, other,
record_date, status, batch, modified_by
FROM $table_name
WHERE id = '$id'
";
The results are read into variables:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$subj = $row['subj'];
$body = $row['body'];
$info = $row['info'];
$fname = $row['fname'];
$lname = $row['lname'];
$title = $row['title'];
$city = $row['city'];
$other = $row['other'];
$record_date = $row['record_date'];
$status = $row['status'];
$batch = $row['batch'];
$modified_by = $row['modified_by'];
} #end while
In the body of the HTML section I have areas such as this:
This creates an editable TEXTAREA that can then be UPDATEd in the database.

Re: [PHP-DB] textarea and mysql query
Yeah it is not multidimensional at all, a simple text blob is what should be
pulled into the textarea. I am not trying to query multipled record fields
at all. One field per textarea. Do you know of a good tutorial on pulling
sql queries into textareas? If you do please let me know as I have searched
php.net and other sites for a tutorial on textarea's but have not found any
nor is there any reference to such a problem in any of the php or mysql
books i have.

RE: [PHP-DB] textarea and mysql query
What is the result of $record['wel_area']. If this is a multidimensional
array then you will need to access it differently...
Example:
echo $record[0][0]."\n";
Try this is your text area and see if that comes out...

Re: [PHP-DB] textarea and mysql query
Sorry, the connection is established already so that part works just fine.
It is getting the results of said connection \ query to appear in a textarea
vs. a text line.

If this is *all* your code then you're missing the important step of
connecting to the mysql server and selecting a database.
Have a look at the examples in the manual.
