Echo with case sensitivity

[davidcriniti]

Hi everyone,

 

On our school website, we've got a page where students can do a quiz, and get feedback given to them, as to whether their answers are correct or incorrect.

 

The code echos the student response for each question, and the feedback, tick / cross is displayed in the adjacent column.

 

However, I've just changed the input box from a text field to a text area, and I've noticed a little quirk.

 

The student answer, after pressing submit, now displays in lower case. Is their any way I can echo their answer, exactly as they input it.

 

Here is the relevant code:

<textarea name="user_answer_<?=$row_counter?>" cols="40" rows="2" /><?=$userAnswer?></textarea>

Thanks for your time,

Dave

Its' probably a function of your browser's handling of textareas. Try using your css to specify the same font for textarea tags as you are using in the rest of your page.

Lowercasing will only happen if you explicitly did something to make it happen. Whatever it is, it's in your code ("code" of some form or another).

I agree with @requinix,

 

Might want to post the function code that handles the output. May have something like: strtolower($str); in there... ( REF: http://www.php.net//manual/en/function.strtolower.php )

 

If not maybe try another browser as @ginerjm suggested.
