textarea in an array
I downloaded "simpl-1.2.0-b2-mysql" by Aaron Reimann (a killer little PHP login suite/app). There's a signup.php page that has text fields for input. I want to turn them into textareas. Here's a typical line:

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle">First Name:</td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" class="form"><input type="text" name="fname" value="$fname" class="form"></td>
</tr>

This is part of an array called :$form "blah blah..."

Any ideas?

I've tried inserting "cols=50" rows=4" or some such, but that didn't have any effect.

Steve

RE: textarea in an array
First of all this belongs in the HTML forum, this has nothing to do with PHP.

There are three elements you can have in a form, <input>, of which there are various types (text, password, submit), <select> (combo boxes) and <textarea>. Textareas are a separate element, not a different type of <input>.

RE: textarea in an array
Sorry,

I didn't write the orig code, and I can't seem to recreate it in Dreamweaver. Here's the whole code, just to put it into context:

<? include ("config.php"); ?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Sign Up</title>
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="css.css">
</head>

<body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
<?
if ($signuppage == "0") {
print "<br><div align="center">You are not allowed to sign up.<br><br>This feature can be turned <br>on in the configuration file.</div>";
exit();
}
?>
<div align="center">
<br>
<br>

I hope this isn't too obnoxiously big.

RE: textarea in an array
If you wanted to replace this single line textbox:

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle">Address 1:</td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" class="form"><input type="text" name="address1" value="$address1" class="form"></td>
</tr>

You'd need something like:

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle">Address 1:</td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" class="form"><textarea cols="50" rows="4" name="address1" class="form">$address1</textarea></td>
</tr>

Note that <textarea> is a block element (unlike <input>, you need a closing tag) and that it has no "value" property - the default text is whatever is between the opening and closing tags, including whitespace.

You should have no problems with validation, since both <input type="text"> and <textarea> controls give you string values.
