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

2004-10-11 Thread Gryffyn, Trevor 
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
info that didn't seem to be mentioned.

 I have a form with both textarea and text type fields.
 
 I submit it and do some processing on identical data and get different
 results.
 
 What's up with that.
 
 Thank you.

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

2004-10-10 Thread 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);
$tv = str_replace(\r,br,$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);
$tv = str_replace(\r,br,$tv);
return $tv;
}

TSTprotectText($_POST['field']);

Now how can that be?


 Can you be a little more specific on what differences you get?
 
 I normally use textarea for multi-line data and input type=text for one
 line, short data... the only difference you might encounter that I can think
 off the top of my head is maybe line break?

No idea since you didn't post any code.

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% 
sure(unless you put up some more code), but it sounds like it's maybe a 
scope error... especially if you define the function in formProcessor and it 
works fine...

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

2004-10-10 Thread 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
