Hello,

I am trying to write an upload script but this is my first time and i'm a bit confused. i have read online that i need to use enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form? so now my question is i also have two more fields one is txt and the other one is to store html, would that work to store all 3 fields with the same form or do i need a separate form one for the picture and another one for the text fields?

thanks

No, it's perfectly fine to combine any form elements in the same form.

Thanks for the info i will try that

Hello,

One of the fields is a textarea where i plan to store html in the db and then display it on the page as html but im having trouble with this. This is the html code on the page

Si usted es ABOGADO o esta buscando UNO, aprenda en forma <span class="Estilo7">GRATUITA</span> como utilizar esta Herramienta!

so i added that on the db in phpmyadmin when i display it is fine this is what i do

<p align="center" class="Estilo3"><?php echo $row['first_line']; ?><br />

in another page i have a textarea where the user would be able to update that line,

<textarea name="fline" id="fline" cols="95" rows="6" value="<?php echo $fline; ?>"></textarea>

this line only displays this part of the data in that row. GRATUITA</span> como utilizar esta Herramienta"!

im not very familiar how to store this html in the db and display it back on the page, i read online suggestions about using htmlspecialchars() i tried it but no success :/ any help would be greatly appreciate it thanks...

I think your most immediate problem is that you're using a "value" attribute on your textarea. The textarea tag does not have any value attribute, it's content should be put in between the opening and closing tags, as in

<textarea name="fline" id="fline" cols="95" rows="6"><?php echo $fline; ?></textarea>

Also if you want to populate a form element with any text you should convert it into html entites.

PHP Code:

<textarea name="fline" id="fline" cols="95" rows="6"><?php echo htmlentities($fline); ?></textarea>
