Inserting and reading data from a mysql TEXT field with php!!!

[kunalm]

Hello
I am trying to insert and then read some text from a textarea control, into a mysql TEXT field, with php. For that I am using simple php code for insertion of records.

But the problem is that when I am fetching back the data some blank spaces are getting appended to the value that I am getting back from the text field. Is there any solve for it?

Kindly provide some piece of code that can solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

What are you entering?

Like "This isn't my dog!"

This is a bad if you do not use stripslashes and mysql_escape_st ring in it. You can use real_escape, but mysql_escape_st ring works great for me. If its something like "This is a simple test sentance". Since it is not using a single quote it should work. This is usualy caused by your server. Its activating a anti mysql injection attack. So if you use mysql_escape_st ring and stripslashes in your $_POST['textarea_name']; or $_GET['textarea_name'];. You should be able to enter single quotes.

[PHP]$text = stripslashes(my sql_escape_stri ng($_POST['textare_name']));[/PHP]

hope this helps you!
