izidorg Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 Hello, I'm new to WEB design coding. Trying to following some video from the site. Why I cannot display text entered in the html form in PHP? I can successfully display other tags in the same PHP file. The code I'm using is the following: Comments: ... The text entered in the text box and submitted. The form_response.php file handles properly other tags but not the textarea tag. in the form_response.php file the following code gets NULL in the $comments variable. $comments = $_REQUEST['comments']; Any help is appreciated.

krillz Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 what's up with the colons at the name? name:="comments" skip those and it will work, name="comments" The data from the textarea will then be stored in $_POST['comments'] and you can access it through $_REQUEST['comments'] as well as you just tried.
