Need help with PHP Form please.

[amazingpatel]

Hello,

      I have a form on a webpage, when a user types something into the form and clicks submit the users comments are passed through to the mysql db, but when a user copies and pastes text into the form the data is not passed through to the mysql db.
Any help or advice would be much appericated.
Thanks in advance.

u need to paste your code.  this doesn't sound right so we need to see where your code is messed up.

It would also help to see the code the user is pasting into the form.

The user is posting a joke.
It works when they type it in, it doesn't work when they copy and paste.

[amazingpatel]

Does anybody know why a user can type a joke into the form but not copy and paste a joke into the form?
If a joke is pasted into the form it somehow is enetered as blank.
