Subject: [PHP] TextArea vs. URLEncode/URLDecode/quotes

(snip)
 So, My question is: What's the best way to get the value of a textarea
back
 after validation without using session?

 Thanks.

Try htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() to convert quotes and other non-url
friendly characters..

The correct way is:
In validate.php:
if(error) {
if(magic_quotes) stripslashes();
urlencode();
} else {
INSERT INTO ...
}
In form.php:
// urldecode() is not needed, GET variables are already decoded
if(magic_quotes) stripslashes();
textarea?= htmlspecialchars()?/textarea

Hello!
I have a form with a textarea...
When the user submits the form, I validate the form on another page.. and in
case the data are not valid,
 I redirect the user back to the form, passing all the info filled in
previously in the URL, then I easily display the values  in the form
again For textarea, I use :
urlencode($textarea_value)  to pass the text in the URL for the validating
page.
And in the textarea, to get back the info, I do:
 textarea?=urldecode($_GET['textarea_value'])?/textarea
This works fine as far as there is no quote in the text

In case there are quotes in the text, quotes are escaped :-( so I get in
the textarea slashes just before the quotes and stripslashes doesn't
seem to help...
