Database Field And Text Area
I need to use a text area in a form instead of an input field so a larger amount of text can be inserted. When I try to use this value="<?php echo $row[databasefield];?>" like I do in my input fields <input value="<?php echo $row[databasefield];?>" name="databasefield"> and try to use it in a text area field instead. <textarea rows="5" cols="25" name="databasefield" value="<?php echo $row[databasefield];?>" ></textarea> The database property won't appear in the form like it will with an input field. How do I adjust for the text area field to show the database info instead? Right now nothing is appearing in the text area field.

Text Area Not Accepting Large Amounts Of Text
I have a form where teachers enter homework assignments and they are then stored in a MYSQL database and retrieved elsewhere. I have been using "get" with the form. The code is simple: <textarea name="array[assignment]" cols="60" rows="10" id="array[assignment]"></textarea> It does allow post of 100 words, etc. Stuff that teachers normally submit. What's happening is that it won't allow very large posts (over 300 words maybe? ) Not sure what the cut off is. When you press submit it won't go, or there is an error where it won't submit. Is there a limit for text fields? Since the fields scroll, I didn't think that having only 60 rows was any type of real limit, I though you could put in as much as needed. But then all of it ends up in the address bar, so there must be a limit of some sort.

Multiple Selections, Arrays, And MySQL
OK this place has been great with explaining things that are way over my head, now I could use a boost to get my brain working again. I have a form with a drop down menu with multiple selections. When the form is submitted it shows up in the DB field as "array", as well as the page where I how the form's info. I think I have to set up an array, and loop(?) it, or do I need to implode the array? And how and where would I put these commands on this incredible messy form page. Would someone mind helping me get started? Here's the form: (please don't make fun of me, I used to a Dreamweaver extension to create the form using PHP, before I decided to try and write this stuff myself.

Replacing Text For Use In A Text Area...
I have a PHP page that allows a user to preview an email and then send it if(s)he is happy with it. Otherwise, they can click on an edit button and edit the text of the message. The text is then shown in a textarea element. While in situation A (the preview), a bit of formatting is useful (e.g <BR>), all of this formatting is a nuisance in the textarea. Basically, I would like to do the following: a. replace <BR> with a line break for the textarea b. get rid of double spaces and tabs before the text is loaded in the textarea c. put the <BR>s back in when the user is finished with editing the message. Is there a way to do this?

Text Area Spacing...?
I have a form, and it's a text area. If I press enter twice, it makes a double space, but when I press submit, and it changes the page, it does not double space!. How can I make my code translate those "enter button" presses into a new line? Just in case you need to know, it's writing whats inside the text box into a row in my MySQL Database. So in a way, you could say that when you press the "enter" button, the text area does not take it as a new line. Here is my code:

Sizing A Text Area Dynamically
I have several text areas I am putting information from MySQL into. Right now they are 50 characters wide, by 10 rows. I want the number of rows to dynamically size do that the text area is the same size as the length of the data in MySQL. I've tried all the logic I can think of... taking strlen and dividing it by the width... works great until they use line feeds... if someone puts: "Hello... thanks." the character count divided by the width is off.

Detecting Line Breaks In A Text Area?
This is really frustrating... I have a form in which there is a text area for people to post comments on the site. I'm hoping that people will take the time to fill out reasonable length responses which my spread over two or more paragraphs. My problem lies there; it might spread over two paragraphs... I know I can use 'special character(s)' which the user can put in that I can then do a ereg_replace() to put the <p> or <br> tags in but I would prefer that they didn't have to... like for instance in this forum I've tried to see whether there are any line breaks or something in the textarea when a carriage return has been made but I can't seem to pick anything up, has anybody managed to come up with a solution to this?

Loading A Word Document Into A Text Area

I've looked at the fopen() function, but that won't open up a directory dialog. I've also read elsewhere that the file chosen needs to be uploaded to the server before it can be displayed in the textarea.

Status is another variable I use, and isn't important. Code:

Submitting Text For Use In A Mysql Database
This question has been bugging me for month. I have a website where people can enter stuff into a mysql database. Some of this information will already be shown in some textareas and input boxes, the user may change it and then hit submit. All the values are then passed to a mysql database, overriding the existing values (after the old ones have been backed-up). All of this works marvellous, apart from characters like &, ' and ". To make it even worse, some of the original text already contains &039; and other numeric character codes. Any values from the database are displayed by retrieving them from the DB [simplified of course] mysql_quer(...) $row = ... $Vold1 = $row[x]; $Vold2 = $row[y]; etc... <INPUT VALUE=$Vold NAME="x"> <TEXTAREA>$Vold</TEXTAREA NAME="y"> Any values that are submitted are processed as follows: $V1 = trim(stripslashes(htmlentities(trim($_POST["x"]))))) $V1 = trim(stripslashes(htmlentities(trim($_POST["y"]))))) then $V is inserted into the table using a mysql query.
