RE: [PHP] textarea posting duplicate text

[Elizabeth Lawrence]

Thanks, Dan. I copied your code exactly and posted it here:
http://www.tidefans.com/test.php I pasted a large part of O'Henry's "Gift of
the Magi" into the textarea, and it gets repeated, as before.

Thanks for any help,
Elizabeth

Create a new file:

test.php

with this exactly in the contents:



TEST












Load the page, enter some text and hit submit.  Rule out some strange 
issue with your page.  Confirm it's a PHP issue not a coding one.

[PHP] textarea posting duplicate text

[Elizabeth Lawrence]

Hello. I have been asked to look at a PHP issue for someone, and I can't
figure out what the problem is. I'm hoping one of you experts can help!

 

They are using Red Hat Linux / Ensim Pro 4.0.2, PHP 4.3.10, and Apache 2.0.

 

The problem: When a lot of text is entered into a textarea on a form, the
text that shows up in the $_POST['textarea'] variable has the text that was
entered, but it is duplicated. This is causing problems for their forums.
Here is a very simple script I placed on the server:
www.tidefans.com/textarea_test.php (code below)

When I place the same script on another server I have access to, the
textarea text is "posted" fine.

Is this a PHP setting somewhere that I'm missing?

 

Here is the code for the PHP script mentioned above:





Test PHP Script









//[a bunch of text goes here]







_POST values";

  echo "Textarea submitted:";

  echo "" . $_POST[textarea] . "";

  echo "Textbox submitted:";

  echo "" . $_POST[text] . "";

  echo "Submit submitted:";

  echo "" . $_POST[Submit] . "";

}

?>



 





 

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it so
much!

Elizabeth
