I don't know why this does this, do you?

I am using a form to enter information into a database, which then is used to create pages comprised of this information.

My users have the option of adding <img src> tags for pictures to be included on the page.

When I enter the img src info, i.e., http://www.website.com/image.jpg, somehow "http://www.website.com/" gets added to the img src info.

Example:

I type <img src=http://www.website.com/image.jpg>

I end up with <img src="http://www.website.com""http://www.website.com/image.jpg">

It even adds the "s.

I am using Dreamweaver as my editor, if that makes a difference.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,
Kathy

Hmmm, I haven't used Dreamweaver to create PHP. Can you post the PHP code that Dreamweaver outputs?

DW doesn't output any code.

Once the page is generated the source is html. I don't know if I understood you correctly as to what you want to see.

I use a form in a php page to create the page.

Once all the information is submitted, it generates a preview page. But when I include an <img src> for a picture it adds the url again.

For instance when I enter: "http://www.villageatcopper.com/clipartgallery/albums/christmas/happyholidaysorn.gif/"

I get:

http://www.villageatcopper.com/"http://www.villageatcopper.com/clipartgallery/albums/christmas/happyholidaysorn.gif/"

Everything else comes out fine.

The strange thing is that this happens when the info is submitted via a web browser. So actually, I don't think DW would have anything to do with it. I think. sheesh!

Well, let's see the bit of code that prints out the <img> tag HTML. If the src attribute is supplied as a variable, where does it get its value from? If the database, is the URL in the database correct? If it isn't, then the problem is somewhere in the upload handling code. If it is, then the problem is somewhere in the retrieval or rendering code.

Man, I don't even know where to start to show the code.

Here is the code for the page that the form is in:
http://www.villageatcopper.com/datain.txt

Here is the code for the preview page:
http://www.villageatcopper.com/preview.txt

I can't for the life of me figure out why the url gets pre-pended ( is that a word?) to the url in the img src.

( Hey, if you guys can follow my info, more power to you! I use them and they give me a headache! )

Thanks,

I was having the same problem before I added the javascript for the web based html editor that follows the textarea in the datain code.

kappaluppa

here is the page with the form: http://www.villageatcopper.com/events/practice/eventsin-page.php

you can enter information and click to preview the page and see how the image tag gets changed.

Works for me, except that when there are " characters in the text, they get spurious backslashes that mangle attribute values - indicating a need for stripslashes() in your code.
