Hi all,
I have some doubt regarding textarea and select box with multiple
entries in PHP as form entries.
The HTML form is as follows :
<form action="Target.php" method="get">
<textarea name="testta" rows=5 cols=40></textarea>
<br>
<select name="testms" multiple>
<option>a</option>
<option>b</option>
<option>c</option>
<option>d</option>
<option>e</option>
<option>f</option>
<option>g</option>
</select>
<br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
The target PHP
<?php
print("<p>".$_GET["testta"]."</p>");
print("<p>".$_GET["testms"]."</p>");
?>
submitted as :
http://localhost/Temp/Target.php?testta=gfhhh%0D%0Acvvdfvsdfv%0D%0Aavadfv%0D%0A&testms=e
The result displayed :
gfhhh cvvdfvsdfv avadfv
e
--------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to know how to handle multiple select entries correctly.
Is there no way i can avoid them from being over written. Theni have
to use check boxes i guess. but again how do i parse out of the
variable number of sent in check boxes. The whole problem is that the
options available itself will be dynamic and out of that i have to
choose further.
Regarding text area how to manipulate the new line and line feed
correctly. so that the line changes in display also as in input.
