PHP - How To Query Pre Tags Into A Textarea?
I have the pre tags stored in the database like in the following example:
<pre> ... </pre>I am looking to avoid having the code rendered, when querying it into a textarea. Any suggestions? Similar TutorialsI recently made a flatfile cms (+ edit in place). Here's an example of how it shows the <br>'s when hitting enter. The password is demo. Now when you click inside (in any text field - there are 4), when hitting enter it makes a new line without showing a <br> tag. Clicking outside and inside the textarea, it will show all the line breaks you've made. My question is how to hide the <br> tag. What I've searched, found and tried the following: Code: [Select] $content=nl2br($content); and $content = str_replace("<br>", "\n", $content); Neither worked. Also when using this code Code: [Select] $file1 = include '/ccms/files/edit.txt'; echo $file1; // This outputs the file. to show the content on another page, it adds a number 1 to every textarea I have on the original page. You can preview the number 1 error here. The pre tags: <pre></pre>get saved in the database like in the above shown example. Though, when reopening them within a textarea they stop working. For example: <pre><h1>The Headline</h1></pre>becomes: The Headline within the textarea. The Questions: What happens here? How to solve it? Edited by glassfish, 03 October 2014 - 09:42 AM. Hi, very simple i'm sure... i have a code for a text box to pull info into from a mysql table. easy enough: Code: [Select] <?php echo "<input type=\"text\" id=\"b_info\" name=\"b_info\" value=\"$b_info\" style=\"width: 327px\" /text>"; ?> but suppose i dont just want a "line of text" i want one of those boxes with the scroll bar down the side (lol like the one im writing this in ) how do i change the above code to do it? i though doing this: Code: [Select] <?php echo "<input type=\"textarea\" id=\"b_info\" name=\"b_info\" value=\"$b_info\" style=\"width: 327px\" style=\"height: 185px\" /textarea>"; ?> would work, but obviously not, all ive done is make the box bigger easy workaround?

Thank You Edited February 8, 2020 by karthicbabuI have a form that generates html code, and displays it in a textarea with submit button. I want to submit button to take the data entered in that textarea1 on page 1, and upload to textarea2 on page 2 How can I do this? I have no idea where to start. hi everyone, did not know what to make the subject, but here is what I want to do: I have a string, which gets returned to me from a linux app on my server, it looks something like this: Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <TITLE> </TITLE> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="OpenOffice.org 3.2 (Linux)"> <META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="Administrator"> <META NAME="CREATED" CONTENT="20110106;14170000"> <META NAME="CHANGEDBY" CONTENT="HOD"> <META NAME="CHANGED" CONTENT="20110522;16540000"> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.26in } P { margin-bottom: 0.15in; direction: ltr; color: #000000; line-height: 0.15in; text-align: justify; widows: 2; orphans: 2 } P.western { font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; so-language: en-US } P.cjk { font-family: "Batang", "바탕", serif; font-size: 10pt } P.ctl { font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; so-language: ar-SA } A:link { color: #0000ff } --> </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY LANG="en-US" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000ff" DIR="LTR" STYLE="border: 5.05pt double #000000; padding: 0.67in 0.92in"> <P>I want this and the tags around it, just not the html, head, body and their closing tags.</P> </BODY> </HTML> within the body, the tags are each styled for example: <p style="color: red"></p> so I cannot just get rid of all html, I want to get only all the content within the body tags, but without the body tags obviously strip_tags does not work as i need, I only want to strip certain tags. If someone can help me with this i will much appreciate it. I am asking out of curiosity, how does this problem usually get solved, when using a tag system to sort content, and users enter similar tags. For example: flower and flowers... which means the difference between singular and plural. Judging by other sites which are around, this problem is not solved at all, they simply let you add as many tags as you want and then rank the most used tags, it indeed is a solution, but seems more like a walk-around solution to me. Any ideas how somebody could approach to solve this one? EDIT: My suggestion would be an analysis function, which analyzes the entered tag and then suggests the user that similar tags have been already entered and perhaps he wants to choose one of those which have been already entered. This does work though with a high traffic websites what can happen is the following: php and php5 You can end up with two similar tags which are both widely used though have different meanings to the user base. This one could be solved by simply prohibiting similar tags with little additions or changes, and so to speak "forcing" the user to choose something which is already there. May be a way, though it can turn out as a bad solution as well. Do anyone know how i can put the html tags in the same line as the other html tags? Here's an example: Code: [Select] Images | Link | Delete | Enabled On my code, it break the tags to the new line without put on the same line as the other tags. Here's the code: Code: [Select] [code]<?php session_start(); define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); define('DB_USER', 'myusername'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass'); define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbtable'); $errmsg_arr = array(); $errflag = false; $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } function clean($var){ return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var)); } $username = clean($_GET['user']); $password = clean($_GET['pass']); if($username == '') { $errmsg_arr[] = 'username ID missing'; $errflag = true; } if($password == '') { $errmsg_arr[] = 'PASSWORD ID missing'; $errflag = true; } if($errflag) { $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr; echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr); } else { $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$password'"; $result=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { $qrytable1="SELECT images, id, public FROM members WHERE username='$username'"; $result1=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) { echo '<p id="images"> <a href="images.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Images</a></td> | <a href="http://' . $row["links"] .

Code: [Select] <b>Classic Quote from movie</b> and I retrieve it into a variable called $text, how do I properly echo that so that it keeps the bold tags and actually display the text "Classic quote from movie" in BOLD? I'm doing something wrong somewhere along the line (simply doing "echo $text;") because it displays on the page as... Code: [Select] <b>Classic Quote from movie</b> Instead of... Classic Quote from movie Any info on properly storing and echoing back HTML would be very appreciated. Here is my code: // Start MySQL Query for Records $query = "SELECT codes_update_no_join_1b" .

Based on the suggestion of you wonderful folks here, I went away for a few days (to learn about PDO and Prepared Statements) in order to replace the MySQLi commands in my code. That's gone pretty well thus far...with me having learnt and successfully replaced most of my "bad" code with elegant, SQL-Injection-proof code (or so I hope).
The one-and-only problem I'm having (for now at least) is that I'm having trouble understanding how to execute an UPDATE query within the resultset of a SELECT query (using PDO and prepared statements, of course).
Let me explain (my scenario), and since a picture speaks a thousand words I've also inlcuded a screenshot to show you guys my setup:
In my table I have two columns (which are essentially flags i.e. Y/N), one for "items alreay purchased" and the other for "items to be purchased later". The first flag, if/when set ON (Y) will highlight row(s) in red...and the second flag will highlight row(s) in blue (when set ON).
I initially had four buttons, two each for setting the flags/columns to "Y", and another two to reverse the columns/flags to "N". That was when I had my delete functionality as a separate operation on a separate tab/list item, and that was fine.
Now that I've realized I can include both operations (update and delete) on just the one tab, I've also figured it would be better to pare down those four buttons (into just two), and set them up as a toggle feature i.e. if the value is currently "Y" then the button will set it to "N", and vice versa.
So, looking at my attached picture, if a person selects (using the checkboxes) the first four rows and clicks the first button (labeled "Toggle selected items as Purchased/Not Purchased") then the following must happen:
1. The purchased_flag for rows # 2 and 4 must be switched OFF (set to N)...so they will no longer be highlighted in red.
2. The purchased_flag for row # 3 must be switched ON (set to Y)...so that row will now be highlighted in red.
3. Nothing must be done to rows # 1 and 5 since: a) row 5 was not selected/checked to begin with, and b) row # 1 has its purchase_later_flag set ON (to Y), so it must be skipped over.
Looking at my code below, I'm guessing (and here's where I need the help) that there's something wrong in the code within the section that says "/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/". I've probably made it more complex than it should be, and that's due to the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing (or rather, how I should be doing it), and this has driven me insane for the last 2 days...which prompted me to "throw in the towel" and seek the help of you very helpful and intellegent folks. BTW, I am a newbie at this, so if I could be provided the exact code, that would be most wonderful, and much highly appreciated.
Thanks to you folks, I'm feeling real good (with a great sense of achievement) after having come here and got the great advice to learn PDO and prepared statements.
Just this one nasty little hurdle is stopping me from getting to "end-of-job" on my very first WebApp. BTW, sorry about the long post...this is the best/only way I could clearly explaing my situation.
Cheers guys!

I wish to improve my coding base. Basically when you fill out the register form, it will check for data, then execute the insert query.

For example, if I do Code: [Select] $sql = 'My query'; $rs = mysql_query($sql, $mysql_conn); Is it then possible to run a second query on this data such as Code: [Select] $sql = 'My query'; $secondrs = mysql_query($sql, $rs, $mysql_conn); Thanks for any help I'm trying to update every record where one field in a row is less than the other. The code gets each row i'm looking for and sets up the query right, I hope I combined the entire query into one string each query seperated by a ; so it's like UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '1';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '2';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '3';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '4';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '5'; this executes properly if i run the query in phpMyAdmin, however when I run the query in PHP, it does nothing... Any advice? Say I have this query: site.com?var=1 ..I have a form with 'var2' field which submits via get. Is there a way to produce: site.com?var=1&var2=formdata I was hoping there would be a quick way to affix, but can't find any info. Also, the query could sometimes be: site.com?var2=formdata&var=1 I would have to produce: site.com?var2=updatedformdata&var=1 Is my only option to further parse the query? What would be the correct way to close a mysql query? At current the second query below returns results from the 1st query AND the 2nd query The 3rd query returns results from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd query. etc etc. At the moment I get somthing returned along the lines of... QUERY 1 RESULTS Accommodation 1 Accommodation 2 Accommodation 3 QUERY 2 RESULTS Restaurant 1 Restaurant 2 Restaurant 3 Accommodation 1 Accommodation 2 Accommodation 3 QUERY 3 RESULTS Takeaways 1 Takeaways 2 Takeaways 3 Restaurant 1 Restaurant 2 Restaurant 3 Accommodation 1 Accommodation 2 Accommodation 3 Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/include/db.php'); ?> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- --> </style> <link href="a.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head><body> <div id="listhold"> <!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> <div class="list"><a href="Placestostay.html">Places To Stay</a><br /> <?php $title ="TITLE GOES HERE"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT subtype FROM business WHERE type ='Accommodation' AND confirmed ='Yes' ORDER BY name"); echo mysql_error(); while($ntx=mysql_fetch_row($query)) $nt[] = $ntx[0]; $i = -1; foreach($nt as $value) {$i++; $FileName = str_replace(' ','_',$nt[$i]) .

What would cause this behavior - when I populate session vars from a MYSQL query, they stick, if I populate them from an MSSQL query, they drop. It doesn't matter if I get to the next page using a header redirect or a form submit. I have two session vars I'm loading from a MYSQL query and they remain, the two loaded from MSSQL disappear. I have confirmed that all four session vars are loading ok initially and I can echo them out to the page, but when the application moves to next page via redirect or form submit, the two vars loaded from MSSQL are empty.
