Re: [PHP] newbie:restricting users to change data in a textarea

[Step Schwarz]

Hi Mirco,

Try adding either readonly or disabled to the textarea tag:

 print textarea name=variable readonly rows=1
 cols=10.stripslashes($row['variable'])./textareabr;

Hope this helps, -Step

[...]
 There is one field that I whant to stop them from changing. This field I also
 use in my sql query when updating the table,ie. where variable='$variable'. So
 what I did was simply this:
 
 tr\n;
 print \ttd$variable/td\n;
 print /tr\n;
 
 instead of:
 
 print textarea name=variable rows=1
 cols=10.stripslashes($row['variable'])./textareabr;
 
 This definately stopped them from editing it but also disabled the mysql
 query from working. Can anyone just give me a couple of ideas how I can make
 this work.
 
 Thanks
 Mirco

[PHP] newbie:restricting users to change data in a textarea

[Mirco Ellis]

Hi all,

I have a app that enables the user to call data out of a mysql database into
textareas. They can then edit the data and update the database. There is one
field that I whant to stop them from changing. This field I also use in my
sql query when updating the table,ie. where variable='$variable'. So what I
did was simply this:

tr\n;
print \ttd$variable/td\n;
print /tr\n;

instead of:

print textarea name=variable rows=1
cols=10.stripslashes($row['variable'])./textareabr;

This definately stopped them from editing it but also disabled the mysql
query from working. Can anyone just give me a couple of ideas how I can make
this work.

Thanks
Mirco
