Multiline textbox

[czukoman20]

Hi Everyone. I was just using a multiline textbox for php for my site, and i realized that it will not take any information after i hit the return key for a new line. Is there a way to record the information that involves starting new lines and such with a multiline textbox

Sounds like a problem with your form processing code. You'll need to post the relevant parts of it if you need specific help.

ok all i have is a basic form  here is the code for my textbox.

 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
  <p>
    <textarea name="textarea" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5">This is the default text..... change it and hit submit</textarea>
</p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>

Can we see the PHP that process that form?

Sometimes you might want to try

 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

 

But either way it would end up to be "", which will still post the form. We might want to examine your script processing the form as Ken said...

if(isset($_POST['button']))
{
$Ecomments=$_POST['textarea'];

echo "Extra Comments: $Ecomments\n";
}

there is a lot more code involved, but this is only the code i used to transfer the info  fromt eh textbox

Hi,

 

will you change your action tag to action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" and try becos i tried your code and could see the output.
