Question

I have HTML code like below

<input type = "textarea" id="sentence1"> Here is my sentence </textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="sentence2" value="This is another sentence">

PHP:

$_POST['sentence1']  //shows nothing
$_POST['sentence2'] // works fine

I want to get the value of sentence1 also But i have such a scattered code that for textarea i can’t change “id” to “name” otherwise i’ll have to make lot of changes in different files.

I have to transfer both sentences to PHP so please help me how can i do that?

Answer 1

Your code is wrong. You should start using a browser with HTML validation, that would’ve caught it.

<textarea name="sentence1" id="sentence1"> Here is my sentence </textarea> 

<input type="hidden" name="sentence2" value="This is another sentence" />
