Hi.

Seeing as this is in no way related to PHP, I am gong to move this over to the HTML/CSS forum.

Please try to post your questions in the appropriate forums.

Thanks

Have you considered the <textarea> element?

Or, if you want to use a normal textbox, you could try setting the CSS style, rather then use the ancient "height" attribute.

Like:

<input type="text" style="height: 100px;" />

The best way would of course be to include this in an external CSS stylesheet, but that is hardly worth creating one if you don't already use them.

Note that this will not add more lines to the box, it will only stretch the height around that single line. If you need multiple lines, use <textarea>

Yes, but the generated code is HTML.

The first thing any PHP tutorial teaches is that PHP is usually used to generate HTML. Even tho your HTML is within a PHP file, it is still HTML and can therefor be used just as you would use it in a HTML file.
