Text Area Forms and How Data is Stored - Page 2

Robizzle

I'm having problems with an html textarea and how the input is
interpreted in php. For instance, new lines aren't being carried over
in my news posts.

Currently this is what i'm doing:
makenews.php takes form data from makenews.php and spits it out to the
first file that doesn't already exist of the name template
news.file.I.txt where I starts at 0 and works its way up. However, if
I enter something like the following:

"this is a test. There is a new
line between the words 'new' and 'line'"

I end up with a news post that looks like "this is a test. There is a
newline between the words 'new' and 'line'".

What is going on? You can play with the script yourself if that helps
any, i've created a copy for use by you guys at
http://www.cse.msu.edu/~meyerro3/google.php . Will post the source
codes on that page in a minute.

Right, that's an *X*HTML line break. Lately I'm trying to make things

He is right ;). is a valid XHTML empty element; however due to
some back-compatibility issues, it's always recommended to include a

Updating a text field in SQL Server 2000

by: Michael Walton | last post by:

I am trying to write some code that inserts or updates a text field in my SQL Server 2000 database.

Setting the text area of a textbox

by: Aaron Smith | last post by:

I am creating a subclassed text box. I want to have a button inside the tetbox. That was the easy part. The part I can't figure out, is how you set the area for the text? If you type a string it will go underneath the button instead of stopping at the button and doing it's normal wrap functionality where it pushes the text off the one side of the textbox... How do you tell it to only use a certain area for text? Aaron -- ---

Access 2007 Rich Text Deficiencies?

by: Neil | last post by:

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...
