form errors between php/html

I have a page that people (without technical knowledge) can upload and
change news web links (via the php script) dynamically. It has worked fine
on our other server, but this week we changed servers and now it doesnt.
What it is doing is replicating the links (in no order - its not like my var
is just getting duplicated) so that there are many duplicate links, but not
all of them are. The links are stored in a textarea and when the form is
submitted, the links get messed up. i have 2 other pages that are doing the
same thing. (they arent links. they are just text) if i click submit,(it
submits to it's self) it takes the good links and runs it through a php
function where the are recorded in a database. then the form is refreashed
and the links go bad. when i comment out the recording part, just going to
an empty function still makes it do it. If i just hit the refreash button in
the browser, it doesnot occur. i am stumped as to why this is occuring. it
is not a special char in the list itself. i think the problem has to do with
when the form is submitted, the data is changed.

here is the link to the source. i made a submit button that does nothing,
other than submit and refreash the form. when you click it, it makes the
"link1" textarea data go bad.

Hello all! As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I've been designing db driven websites using javascript and vbscript for about 6-7 years now, and I am *horrible* at form validation. To be honest I usually hire someone to do it for me, grab predone scripts and kind of hack out the parts that I need, or just do very minimal validation (e.g. this is numeric, this is alpha-numeric, etc.)

I hope I can state this clearly enough. I am redoing some of my html(php) forms. I'm trying to break things into three functions on a self processing php page: 1) show the form (and populate fields if there were errors) 2) validate form data 3) process form data 2 and 3 are no problem, but 1 is. The page with the form displayed should validate as html 4.01 strict (actually all iterations of the page

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
