displaying text

[imarockstar]

I have a TEXTAREA form field ... and I need to display the text just how its pasted into the field .

 

look at this link :

 

http://franklinspirko.com/sites/dwf/resume_view.php?resumeid=18

 

the RESUME and COMMENTS should have paragraph breaks in them. I looked at the field in phpAdmin an the paragaph breaks are showing there ...

 

here is my code :

 

resume paste prompt

Paste your Resume here <br>
<textarea name=resume class=resume></textarea>

 

 

viewing the resume

<?php 



if ( $resumeid > 0) 
{
//select the table
$result = mysql_query("select * from resume where resumeid='$resumeid'");

} 

else 
{
//select the table
$result = mysql_query("select * from resume");
}



//grab all the content
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{	
   //the format is $variable = $r["nameofmysqlcolumn"];
   //modify these to match your mysql table columns
  
   $date =$r["date"];
   $resumeid =$r["resumeid"];
   $jobtitle =$r["jobtitle"];
   $title =$r["title"];
   $fname =$r["fname"];
   $lname =$r["lname"];
   $address =$r["address"];
   $city =$r["city"];
   $state =$r["state"];
   $zipcode =$r["zipcode"];
   $phone1 =$r["phone1"];
   $phone2 =$r["phone2"];
   $email =$r["email"];
   $salary =$r["salary"];
   $rate =$r["rate"];
   $eligibility =$r["eligibility"];
   $travel =$r["travel"];
   $startdate =$r["startdate"];
   $notice =$r["notice"];
   $heard =$r["heard"];
   $resume =$r["resume"];
   $comments =$r["comments"];
?>

where you echo the textarea text do

echo nl2br($textareatext);

Shouldnt attributes be wrapped in double quotes?

 

this

<textarea name="resume" class="resume"></textarea>

 

instead of

<textarea name=resume class=resume></textarea>

 

Not that this gives you the problem, as Blade suggested how to fix it, but it's the right way of writing html.

 

[DeanWhitehouse]

Yer , soz didnt read the code just said how to do it , but everything like that should be in tags unless numeric , then it doesnt really matter.

[imarockstar]

ya I know about the ""'s .... I just get lazy sometimes

 

i don't put them in for a few reasons .. but I am am doing code for a client or code that needs to be WC3 compliant then I will of-course code to the standards of the gods .. lol

[imarockstar]

this is what I put and it displayed nothing ...

 

 

<h2 class=>Resume</h2>
<?= nl2br($textareatext) ?>

what does the text look like in the database? is it correct there?

[imarockstar]

ya it looks normal ... a crap load of text with a few paragraph breaks ...

 

here is the link to the page

 

http://franklinspirko.com/sites/dwf/resume_view.php?resumeid=18

 

the text should be displaying under the header RESUME

 

 

here is a screen shot of the db ..

Your text looks fine, it has newlines, so nl2br() should correctly display them in the textarea. I usually prefer inserting html formatted content in db, so you can give it a shot and convert newlines (/n) to line breaks (< br />) or paragraphs.

 

PS: By the way, the site looks pretty good 

[imarockstar]

thanks man ..

 

ya  I like the site .. its coming together .. lol ..

 

but I think I am displaying the <?= nl2br($resume); ?> wrong ... I am not using an echo to display it ...

 

this is what is being displayed ...

 

 

<?= nl2br($resume); ?>

 

that does not look correct, and, its not working lol .. so I think I am doing something wrong .. and when i say not working i mean it is not displaying anything at all ... like there is nothing in the db

[lostprophetpunk]

Try making the '<?=' a '<?php' instead, as the first I have never seen as a PHP opening tag, only '<?php' and '<?'.

[imarockstar]

I fixed it .. im a moron .. i copied and pasted your $textareatext var .. lol .. and didnt put my $resume one back in there . haha im a moron .

 

thanks for solving this for me !!!!
