Re: [PHP-DB] Re: posting information from a textarea
Ha! I figured the damn thing out! Using the full text type created a bunch
of overhead and it wasn't storing it into the table. I realized that I was
unsetting the post array before I was doing the print_r so that is why the
variables weren't showing up. Then, I finally realized that for some reason,
I had to convert the textarea to a utf encoding before I entered it into the
database! That was annoying.

I'm just going to rebuild the form and it make it seperate (with all the

the motto and i change it, it changes motto too...w/e I'll just make a new
one.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: posting information from a textarea
I think I might have found the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm
just going to rebuild the form and it make it seperate (with all the
database calls in one page). For some reason, if I add another field before
the motto and i change it, it changes motto too...w/e I'll just make a new
one.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: posting information from a textarea
hmm..interesting. Neither the motto or desc is showing up in the array. I
made a simple form and the
echo 'post vars: ' . print_r($_POST, true) . '';
works fine. I'm just perplexed on why the motto is still working and not the
desc. Maybe it's because I'm using a fieldset, but then why wouldn't just

That definitely all looks fine.
If you do:
echo 'post vars: ' . print_r($_POST, true) . '';
does it show up in post at all?

Here's the form:

} ?>" />
Nation Description:
value("desc") == ""){
echo $session->nationinfo['desc'];

It's echoing the nationinfo right, but its not posting it. The motto
also works too. When it's submitted, it goes through the function
procEditNation().
$session->editNation($_POST['motto'], $_POST['desc']);
The editNation function:
function editNation($motto, $desc){
global $database, $form;
if($motto){
$field = "motto";
$motto = htmlspecialchars($motto);
$database->updateNationField($this->username,"motto",$motto);
}
if($desc){
$field = "desc";
$desc = htmlspecialchars($desc);
$database->updateNationField($this->username,"desc",$desc);
}
return true;
}
Then finally the updateNationField function:
function updateNationField($username, $field, $value){
$q = "UPDATE nations SET ".$field." = '$value' WHERE username =
'$username'";
return mysql_query($q, $this->connection);
}
I just don't know what's wrong since it's posting the motto (which is
just a text-type input) and not the description (which is a textarea). I
echo'd out the mysql queries and excuted them myself from what echo'd
out and it's selecting the desc column just fine.
That definitely all looks fine.

Actually, show us the form you're trying to submit before doing anything
else. Since we haven't seen any html or php code, guessing it's a bug is
a bit of a stretch.
