Re: Re: posting information from a textarea

I'll show you all the steps it passes through. Here's the form: <form action="proc.php" method="post">

           <fieldset>
               <label for="Motto">Motto:</label>
               <input class="text" type="text" size="25" name="motto"

value="<?php if($form->value("motto") == ""){ echo $session->nationinfo['motto']; }else{ echo $form->value("motto"); } ?>" />

               <label for="desc">Nation Description:</label>
               <textarea name="desc" cols="50" rows="5"><?php

if($form->value("desc") == ""){ echo $session->nationinfo['desc']; }else{ echo $form->value("desc"); } ?></textarea> <input type="submit" value=" Edit Nation " />

        </fieldset>

</form> It's echoing the nationinfo right, but its not posting it. The motto also works too. When it's submitted, it goes through the function procEditNation(). $session->editNation($_POST['motto'], $_POST['desc']); The editNation function: function editNation($motto, $desc){

     global $database, $form;

     if($motto){
        $field = "motto";
        $motto = htmlspecialchars($motto);
        $database->updateNationField($this->username,"motto",$motto);

        }

     if($desc){
        $field = "desc";
        $desc = htmlspecialchars($desc);
        $database->updateNationField($this->username,"desc",$desc);

     }

     return true;

} Then finally the updateNationField function: function updateNationField($username, $field, $value){

     $q = "UPDATE nations SET ".$field." = '$value' WHERE username =

'$username'";

     return mysql_query($q, $this->connection);

} I just don't know what's wrong since it's posting the motto (which is just a text-type input) and not the description (which is a textarea). I echo'd out the mysql queries and excuted them myself from what echo'd out and it's selecting the desc column just fine. On 7/6/06, Chris <dmagick@gmail.com> wrote:

Since we haven't seen any html or php code, guessing it's a bug is a bit of a stretch. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
