Re: [PHP] read only texbox to html with php

The fact that you are using stripslashes tells me that something is
very very very wrong somewhere...

For output to the textarea, just htmlentities should be sufficient.

Emailing HTML "enhanced" newsletter will reduce the number of people
who actually read the dang thing, you know.

If I understand correctly, you are setting the value of an HTML textbox to some 
HTML code. When viewing the page, you want the HTML in the textbox to be 
rendered. This isn't possible.

Why can't you forget the textbox just output the HTML directly?

Any ideas?

what do you mean by converting to html?
if it is just plain text what do you want to do with it? enclose it
within  tags, etc? or what?
and what do you mean by doesn't work?

[PHP] read only texbox to html with php

2007-03-21 Thread Ross
I have a readonly textbox that gets mailed as a newsletter. The text is a 
standard covering letter. The problem is when I try and convert it to html 
it doesn't work  It is inserted into a variable via a form textarea 
$mail_text.

 "available on the web site http://www.myurl.org";>http://www.myurl.org so you can see who is 
doing."

I tried this

htmlentities((stripslashes($mail_text)));


Any ideas?
