Form problems with textarea and print

[TheBeginner]

Hi,

I'm using a regular HTML form and a textarea. The form send a variable, $mytext to php script, where I just want to print it on the screen.

My problems are that if I have a line break, lets say after "Hi,"
the text shown later will only be that "Hi", while the text after that is not shown.

Anybody knows why. Here is part of my code:

HTML:

<form name="annonserasteg3" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="annonskon3.php">
<textarea wrap="virtual" name="mytext" cols="35" rows="6">
</textarea>

PHP:

$annonstext=nl2br(wordwrap($mytext));
print("$mytext");

Maybe try:

<form name="annonserasteg3" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="annonskon3.php">
<textarea name="mytext" cols="35" rows="6"></textarea>

Then access with:

$mytext = htmlspecialchars($_POST['mytext']);
print nl2br(wordwrap($mytext));

Hi,

Great suggestion but it doeasn't work. When I write text like:
"
Hi,

My name is Martin....."

only "Hi," is showing up in my print to the screen.

take out the wordwrap function

I dont think wordwrap() is the problem, though I dont use it.

Why dont you test with this:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['text'])) {
	echo '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">';
	if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1)
		$output = stripslashes($_POST['text']);
	else
		$output = $_POST['text'];
	$output = htmlspecialchars($output);
	echo '<tr><td>' . nl2br($output) . '</td></tr>';
	echo '</table>';
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<textarea name="text" rows="5" cols="60"><?php
if (isset($_POST['text'])) {
	echo $output;
}
?></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

It works great after combining some of your code and changing it a little bit for my purposes.
