OK this may be a basic question but it is baffeling me...
I have a form that submits above average amount so text. Depending on the particular field I either use a
type=text or a <textarea> to read in the info from the user.
The info is passed to a verfication page that echo's what the user has entered to ensure everything is correct then gives the chance to either return to the form to edit info or submit the confirmed info.
All the variables from the first form whether read in via text or textarea are sent to the final processing page via <type=hidden> tags
What I have found is that depending on how much text is entered into the <textarea> in the form it may or may not process it. It appears to accept a max of 4 full lines but any more then that and then that and the form get's stuck.
Is there a limitation to how much text I can read in via a form? if so is there a way to by pass this?
CODE:
//I use code similar to this in several placs to read in fields that will be longer then a few lines of text.
In one brief sentence outline the current and/or potential size of the addressable market</td>
<td><textarea input type='text' name="market_size" cols=32 rows=2></textarea></td>
//I use this to pass all variables to the form that submits everything to my mail.php processing file
echo "<input type='hidden' name='company_name' value='$company_name'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='sender_name' value='$sender_name'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='address1' value='$address1'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='telephone' value='$telephone'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='fax' value='$fax'>";
From trial and error if I don't fill out all the fields some of the larger fields will get passed, but then if I have all the fields filled in nothing works... it will not submit to my mail.php page..
