Question

I have the following code.

print("  <form action='home.php' method='POST'>
            <textarea name='changemainhometa' id='msgpost'> $home </textarea>
            <input type='submit' name='changemainhomefinal' value='Change' />
         </form> ");

The value $home is extracted from the database

Now I change the text in the textarea and press submit.

Then, the following code is executed:

$value = $_POST["changemainhometa"];
print($value);
$query = mysql_query("UPDATE contentdata 
                      SET text = $value 
                      WHERE key = 'home' ");  
print("Succesvol gewijzigd");

But now, every time i execute this code, it does not update, but it sets $value to the old variable from the database, instead of the new one which I entered in the textarea

Btw., id:msgpost is from the yahoo text editor.

Answer 1

I fixed it already, it was an error in the YUI simple editor, which did not allow me to submit data, for future reference, i fixed this with submitHandle:true in the configuration.
