I'm sorry for those who my have responded to my last email. I thought I had plenty of room in my email client, but I forgot to delete my trash, so I did not get any responses. So, I'm going to restate my initial problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.... I have a text input field in my form. I need the user to be able to enter something like: Hello, I need # help. After which they click on a submit button. The succeeding page then takes this text and tries to display it and tries to store "Hello, I need # help" in a varchar field in a mysql table column. The mysql database is truncating the # sign and the text succeeding the # sign. Also, absolutly no text is

check to see if the field where the info is going into is long enough. ie varchar(50). anything more than 50 get cut off.

being diplayed on the succeeding web page. I've tried

what did you name the textfield? You should be able to echo "$string"; if you named the textfield string....

using addslashes() and I was warned against using htmlentities(). Also, I'm not sure if I'm dealing with 2 issues: A mysql issue and a html issue. Or, am I dealing with one issue: A mysql issue or an HTML issue. Thank you, John __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
