As Andrew pointed out, you need to use htmlspecialchars()
	echo "" .htmlspecialchars($contents). 
"";


The reason for that is because the text may contain html control 
characters like <>&'" which the browser will attempt to interpret.


http://php.net/htmlspecialchars

I usually use htmlentities() instead

It sounds like you are not escaping the value that appears inside the
textarea tags.

That would be my first choice as well. However, one can style a  
tag whereas it's very difficult (if not impossible) to style what 
goes in between  tags.

PHPScriptor wrote:

Hello,

How do you guys handle this "problem".

Just a form with a textarea. When I use enters in the textarea it's saved to
the db like this:

database:
"first line
second line"

when I edit the value in the form:
"first line
second line"

when I output the value to html:
"first linesecond line" (unless I use nl2br())

Is there a way that I could save it to the db that will work for db, output
and edit without using any other function like nl2br?


I run all text area through a filter that removes the carriage return [ 
preg_replace('/\r/','',$input) ] and save it in the database with any 
newline characters.


When calling data from the database, I can then use newline as a 
delimiter for explode generate an array where each element of the array 
is a distinct line of text - and then do whatever I want with the lines.


Effectively what I usually do is the same thing as nl2br - but since I 
do everything in DOMDocument I have to do it myself (create text nodes 
for each array element and create break nodes between them).


If I'm going to a pre field or back to a text area (IE to edit the data) 
then I don't have to do anything.


I do NOT recommend running nl2br before it goes into the database - as 
that means you may have to convert the breaks when re-using the data 
elsewhere, and the proper way to make a break depends upon the output 
type (IE  for html or  for xhtml, etc.) - so keep the newline 
character in the database and convert to what you need when you call the 
data from the database.

HTML doesn't recognize newlines when it displays text. The  tag
maintains the formatting of your original text, including newlines.
Unfortunately, it also displays text in a monospace font.

I believe that you can override that with css.

Thanks for taking my comment without flaming.

What I said was based upon having to deal with clients who mix html 
and all sorts of stuff in their database and then wonder why certain 
pages look funny. They can't seem to grasp the concept of paired

it looks best.


It's been an experience and that has left me with the opinion that

Simply, the problem deals with how different systems handle the "end

You can read more about it here:

What you've encountered (IMO) is just another extension/example of the problem.

Now, your choices are to:

1. Listen to Rob (the wisest) and use the  tag.

2. Listen to Stuart (the wisest) and use the nl2br() function

3. Listen to Sterex (IMO -- who is totally wrong) and put html in 
your database;

Trust me when I say in the grand scheme of things a call to nl2br is
extremely cheap so I really wouldn't worry about how much you use it.

If you don't know whether you're using a input field or a textarea I
really think you need to examine your code carefully before
proceeding. If you know to spit out a textarea then you know it's a
textarea. Or maybe I'm missing something.

The reason this "problem" exists is due to HTML compressing concurrent
white space into a single space. This can be a very useful feature but
is not immediately obvious to newcomers. If you're not familiar with
HTML I suggest you put PHP down for a while and have a play with pure
HTML - it'll be time well-invested.

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database

[Manoj Sterex]

@Robert:
True. I was assuming that the text was going to be final and not being
edited again.

@PHPScriptor:
If you do have a lot of textareas to work around with, why don't you give
TinyMCE a try. Thats the best option you have got. It replaces the textarea
into more of a html compatible one and when you are editing the text again,
it will be properly formatted.

You'll also get toolbars for text editing etc., more like your mail compose
window right now. :)

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database

[Manoj Sterex]

Well, its not exactly a 'problem' at all. The textarea just does what its
meant to do - accept raw text input and lets you process it via form action.
This is neither a PHP or a HTML 'problem'.

The reason you cannot see the line breaks when you echo the text on your
browser is the fact that the browser does not recognize '\n' as a line
break; it only recognizes ''.

Coming to the  tag,  stands for preformatted; it tells the browser
to output the text in the raw format as it is. Hence it displays properly.

If I understand your question, the answer is no. If you have wrap="hard"
as an attribute for your textarea, it will store the data with CR/LF.
But CR/LF don't show up as a line ending when displayed in HTML. You
have to use nl2br() to translate for HTML. It also may be that you need
to do a translation from CR/LF (textarea line ending) to LF (*nix line
ending). The CR/LF *will* show up properly when *editing* in the
textarea field, just not when displayed without a textarea.

Don't do that unless it's a cached entry in the DB. Unless you
absolutely know you'll never need the raw text again, you should always
store the raw text so it can be processed in the future in any way you
see fit. If you want to speed up the process of conversion, use an
additional field in the database, or a cache, that contains the
processed content.

Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database

[PHPScriptor]

Yes, I thought about that. But then you have a problem when you're going to
'edit' that data back in a form. Then you get "first linesecond line"
in your textarea.

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database

[PHPScriptor]

Well, the problem is that I have a lot of forms, a lot of data to output, and
even then, I don't know always where I have a textarea or just a inputfield.
But true, I could even set the nl2br on an input field, it wouldn't make a
difference.
But I just don't understand why this problem exists? What's the reason?

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database

[PHPScriptor]

Mja, that's not my intention, in that case I also could use nl2br... 

Why does this problem exists? And why does it work with ? Is this a PHP
problem or more a HTML problem?

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database

[Manoj Sterex]

Well, instead of storing the text from the textarea directly into the db,
validate it and wrap it with  tags (replace \n) and then store it.
This way you needn't use nl2br every time you retrieve the text from db.

What's your problem with using nl2br? This is the reason it exists!!

Store the raw data in the database, and run nl2br on it when you
display it. I don't see a "problem".

Not to the DB, but it should respect newlines if you wrap it in
 tags.

I prefer the htmlentities because it allows me to edit the real code, not an

Re: [PHP] textarea html generation problem

[sean greenslade]

Thanks to all for your responses. I ended up using htmlentities. Thanks
Stephen.

Also, the reason I didn't use a premade editor is that I am planning on
selling a web-editor system and don't want any troubles with licenses.



Hi all! I am trying to make a PHP HTML editor. I have made the entire editor

Subject: [PHP] Textarea update problem

Hi,

I'd like to thank everybody who have helped me till now. All your
advices were very helpfull... :)

But I have a problem again

I need to build a script which will have have the following functions:

1.Be able to select 3 columns from a MySQL database(idnetify the
columns by ID) and put the column contents into 3 textarea objects.
(for example title,Text1,Text2 each into i textarea).

2.Edit and MySQL update the textarea contents


And all in one script.

The script has a $id = $_GET['id'] variable which holds the
information about the certain table id.




-- End Original Message --



  

This is the script, I have dealt with both problems but when I click on
the update button (submit button) i get an error msg:


 Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either
read-protected or not readable by the server.

The user name and pass for the MySQL server are 100% correct.

It reads out the data from the database into the textarea object but
when I click the update button I get that msg.

Thank you! :)

You can't do this You are inside a php echo statement already.
Then you are trying to break into php from html

   echo "";


Not sure what error level you are set to but you should have quotes

ie: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

why are you putting those $_POST values in brackets?
it should be
$title = $_POST['title'];

btw, you should check those values before passing them to the database
because of security reasons

here you don't need $result I think, you could just use
mysql_query($query) or die ("could not process query : $query" .
mysql_error());

>

and you don't have to check for $result, as the die statement would
cause your script to stop executing if there was an error, so if it gets
here you might just print out "everything is ok"

and this "else" part is also totally useless, as it never gets here. it
there is an error it dies right at the query, otherwise it is successful

Re: [PHP] Textarea update problem

[Tijnema !]

The file permissions are not set right, Apache is not able to read the PHP
file you've just uploaded to your server, chmod it to 644.

That should fix it.

Subject: [PHP] Textarea update problem

Hi,

I'd like to thank everybody who have helped me till now. All your
advices were very helpfull... :)

But I have a problem again

I need to build a script which will have have the following functions:

1.Be able to select 3 columns from a MySQL database(idnetify the
columns by ID) and put the column contents into 3 textarea objects.
(for example title,Text1,Text2 each into i textarea).

2.Edit and MySQL update the textarea contents


And all in one script.

The script has a $id = $_GET['id'] variable which holds the
information about the certain table id.




-- End Original Message --



  

This is the script, I have dealt with both problems but when I click on
the update button (submit button) i get an error msg:


 Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either
read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
.


   Error 403

The user name and pass for the MySQL server are 100% correct.

It reads out the data from the database into the textarea object but
when I click the update button I get that msg.

Thank you! :)

There was an Apache2/PHP bug going around that had this issue. It was an 
older version of PHP and/or Apache2 that I thought was fixed, though. 
Maybe your running into this same issue? Try searching the PHP bug 
database for "apache2 duplicate" and see if you can find the old bug/issue.

Re: [PHP] textarea posting duplicate text

[Dan Tappin]

It's definitely on your end:
http://www.orourke.ca/test.php
I verified your issue on your server and could not reproduce it on mine.
Our phpinfo data looks the same.
Here's a hunch.  Try calling output buffering at the top of your page:
 ob_start();
I have this on my site to allow for mid-page redirects.  I have no idea 
if this is the cause.  Just an idea.  Perhaps an Apache 2 issue?  Can 
any one else confirm this on Apache 2 / PHP 4.3.10?

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]




if ($_POST[Submit] != "")
{
  echo "_POST values";
  echo "Textarea submitted:";
  echo "" . $_POST[textarea] . "";
  echo "Textbox submitted:";
  echo "" . $_POST[text] . "";
  echo "Submit submitted:";
  echo "" . $_POST[Submit] . "";
}
?>


phpinfo();
?>

so

Hmm I did not remember writing the bit about post_max_size.  I was
checking your settings in the phpinfo output when I found the
filter/handler deal. obviously the post_max_size is not the culprit.

Have you verified that the POST data itself is doubled?...

This sounds REALLY weird to me...

There's certainly on "double long POST data" setting :-)

It could be a bug in PHP or Apache -- Search their bug databases.
http://bugs.php.net/ for PHP.
http://apache.org/ should lead you to it for Apache.
You're on your own for Ensim Pro, whatever that is.

I would also recommend that you start LOGGING the text inputs that are
giving problems as they come in.

EG:
 10 && substr($input, 0, $len/2) == substr($input, $len/2)){
error_log("Double Input: $input");
  }
?>

This may lead you to finding some commonality in the input text other than
length that is not immediately apparent right now.

Actually, I guess you *COULD* just use the code above or similar to
automatically strip out the doubled text -- But document/comment the hell
out of that unless you want to confuse every developer that ever looks at
it!!!

Presumably you mean based on user input like clicking on buttons and things.

By that point in time, PHP on the *server* is LONG GONE and not even in
the picture.

You'll have to use JavaScript.

Just wanted to point out something little.   "text" types are all
single-line data items.  "textarea" can contain line breaks.  Looks like
you may have solved your problem already, but wanted to fill in some

Re: [PHP] textarea vs. type="text" data difference?

[Sam Smith]

htmlentities!

Thanks a lot for taking the time but it was just my nubie error.

What had me going all off in the wrong direction was textarea fields don't
need htmlentities to display quotes correctly like a text field does.

you know like this:  value="some text" with important info"
Displays in textarea fine but in type=text of course you get
"some text

What a female dog.

Okay, so in other words...
//Doc1.php
include functions.php //this file contains the function definition for 
"protectText()"
include formProcessor.php //this file contains the code that calls 
"protectText()"
include form.php //this file gets the form data from user

By any chance, are ANY of the include files classes?  I'm not 100%

Re: [PHP] textarea vs. type="text" data difference?

[Sam Smith]

##The data is the same. I've been up a long time.

BUT something is still very weird.

Doc1.php (loaded in web browser)
//contents of Doc1.php
include functions.php
include formProcessor.php
include form.php

Calling the "protectText()" function in "functions.php" from
"formProcessor.php" with data posted from "form.php" works on data posted
from textarea fields but does NOT on data posted from type="text".

//contents of functions.php ONLY works on textarea fields
The fundtion in function.php is:
function protectText($tv) {
$tv = stripslashes($tv);
$tv = str_replace("\"","[QT]",$tv);
$tv = str_replace("\r","",$tv);
return $tv;
}

BUT if I put the same function in "formprocessor.php" it works!??

//contents of formprocessor.php THIS works on both
function TSTprotectText($tv) {
$tv = stripslashes($tv);
$tv = str_replace("\"","[QT]",$tv);
$tv = str_replace("\r","",$tv);
return $tv;
}

TSTprotectText($_POST['field']);

Now how can that be?

Yeah, use strip_tags so you can get rid of evil, malicious content such 
as ... gasp! Just use htmlentities() like others have already 
suggested, so you don't change the users input. There's nothing more 
annoying than programs that strip out content from what users write 
because they think it's bad. Using allowed_tags with strip_tags() just 
introduces the possibility for vulnerabilities since attributes aren't 
checked. Javascript in a  tag, you say? Yep...

What you're looking for is a replace for  that supports HTML
editing. Try http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/ (IE
only unfortunately - but there are others, try searching Google for

Re: [PHP] textarea/display question...

[Jason Davidson]

you can set designmode on a iframe to make it editable if you like,
you can use javascript to use commands from the browser on the iframe
even.  And textarea may have a value attribute, however the element is
meant to tag its displayed value from between the open and close tags.

Please, in this documentation from the W3C's site, show me where there's a
value attribute for textarea.

Where did you find this out?  I was pretty sure that is did not have

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...

[Vail, Warren]

That is a tough question to answer simply, but the basic answer is yes.

What appears in the IFRAME is actually another web page, complete with it's
own set of controls and it's own form, and something to trigger the
submission of that form (separately from the page containing the IFRAME).
Suppose your entire form consisted of a collection of text controls (one for
each cell in your table);

Assume you have your data in a 2 dimension array $darray.  To display the
array on a page;

Echo "";
For($row = 0; $row < $height; $row++) {
echo "";
for($col = 0; $col < $width; $col++) {
  echo "\n";
}
echo "";
}
Echo "";

This would look much like a VB grid control, notice that a table by itself
is not an input type control.  This is just one solution, and so many are
available.  Notice that the form will return a multi-dimension array;

$returnarray = $_GET["farray"];

Hope this gets you started.

Have you considered an imbedded frame?  (Looks like a textarea, with the
ability to imbed all types of controls (and tables) within it).  I'm not
sure that all browsers support  yet, but the most widely used one
does.

Another approach would be to use sprinf() formatting to imbed
leading/trailing spaces to allow everything to line up, assuming your text
area uses a fixed pitch font like courier.  Course since the control is an
input control, trust your users are going to screw up the alignment, and

Yes, but by nature, it must be a separate form.  What appears in the IFRAME
is like any other frame, an entire web page, and as a separate web page and
separate form, it must have it's own submit button (within the form).
Course you could cause some of the other controls on the form to trigger the
submit, like changing a selection on a  list;


this is a

First of all, textareas don't have a "value" attribute, you put the
text between the  tags.

Second, you simply can't do that. Textareas are normal text only.

However, there are JavaScript plugins you can use to do this:

Anything inside that textarea actually get's displayed.  So they will

I don't know of a way to actually highlight sections within the text 
area, and I don't think there is one.  You could highlight the text 
outside of the textarea though.

stripslashes() works, just make sure you capture the result.

Hello!
I have a form with a textarea...
When the user submits the form, I validate the form on another page.. and in
case the data are not valid,
 I redirect the user back to the form, passing all the info filled in
previously in the URL, then I easily display the values  in the form
again For textarea, I use :
urlencode($textarea_value)  to pass the text in the URL for the validating
page.
And in the textarea, to get back the info, I do:
 
This works fine as far as there is no quote in the text

In case there are quotes in the text, quotes are escaped :-( so I get in
the textarea slashes just before the quotes and stripslashes doesn't
seem to help...
So, My question is: What's the best way to get the value of a textarea back
after validation without using session?
Thanks.

Try htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() to convert quotes and other non-url
friendly characters..

This won't work.  needs its value outside the tag, without an
attribute, just plain:

Print '',
  htmlspecialchars($row['OrgName']),
'';

Re: [PHP] textarea new line

[PHPCoder]

When you echo, you are adding to HTML, so you need  for new lines 
not \n. There is a function called nl2br that converts the nl into br's 
for you, so do this;

$string="-line1n\ -line2 n\-line3";

$string = nl2br($string);

echo "$string";

Maybe it's just an issue of using "get" rather than "post". in the form.

Browsers have a limit to the amount of stuff you can enter into a . 
You're probably coming up against that limit.

I think, what he's trying to say is check to make sure it's not an errant

The solution depends on what you're trying to do.  What's your goal.  Are you

Re: [PHP] textarea, carriage returns and formatting

[Jim Lucas]

not sure what you're getting at.  when you pull the text back out of the DB,
it should be formatted the same as when it was put in the DB.

the \n's should still be intack

are you processing the text before it gets entered into the DB?

You should be able to do this:

[elias]

okay,...now that you showed some code...
basically, when you input via  all new lines are in the string
like \n
so to display them correctly in show.php do like:



basically, in HTML the '\n' doesn't show you a new line,
or else you can replace all the '\n' with '' tag!
