Thanks, Dan. I copied your code exactly and posted it here:
http://www.tidefans.com/test.php I pasted a large part of O'Henry's Gift of
the Magi into the textarea, and it gets repeated, as before.
Thanks for any help,
Elizabeth

Subject: Re: [PHP] textarea posting duplicate text
Create a new file:
test.php
with this exactly in the contents:
HTML
HEAD
TITLETEST/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
FORM ACTION=test.php METHOD=post NAME=test
TEXTAREA NAME=textarea ROWS=4
COLS=40/TEXTAREA
PINPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submitButtonName/P
/FORM
P? print_r($_REQUEST); ?/P
/BODY
/HTML
Load the page, enter some text and hit submit. Rule out some strange
issue with your page. Confirm it's a PHP issue not a coding one.

Hello. I have been asked to look at a PHP issue for someone, and I
can't
figure out what the problem is. I'm hoping one of you experts can help!
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 $_POST['textarea'] variable has the text
that was
entered, but it is duplicated. This is causing problems for their
forums.
Here is a very simple script I placed on the server:
www.tidefans.com/textarea_test.php (code below)
When I place the same script on another server I have access to, the
textarea text is posted fine.
Is this a PHP setting somewhere that I'm missing?
Here is the code for the PHP script mentioned above:
html
head
titleTest PHP Script/title
/head
body
form method=post action=textarea_test.php name=Form1
textarea cols=50 rows=20 name=textarea
//[a bunch of text goes here]
/textareabr
input type=text name=text size=20 value=This is some textbr
input type=submit name=Submit value=Submit
?php
if ($_POST[Submit] != )
{
echo h1_POST values/h1;
echo pTextarea submitted:/p;
echo pre . $_POST[textarea] . /pre;
echo pTextbox submitted:/p;
echo pre . $_POST[text] . /pre;
echo pSubmit submitted:/p;
echo pre . $_POST[Submit] . /pre;
}
?
/form
?php
phpinfo();
?
/body
/html
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it so
much!
