Posting HTML Code from script

myitanalyst

Ok, can this be done.

I need to post from a php script several text fields that have normal text, but I also need to post some HTML code which consists of a table and hyperlinks as well.

First can HTML Code actually be posted from a normal HTML form?
Whether or not it can be done from a HTML form can it be done from a php script? If so how do I go about doing this?

I have tried to achieve it from an HTML form, but it seems to ignore the HTML code after the post and I'm left with just the text.

Thank You.

htmlspecialchars()...

I think I might have it.

Well... I was under the impression that I could not get HTML tags and text to actually POST to another page from a form post. So I was trying to confirm this and to find out how to actually generate a post from a pure PHP coding (not an actual form).

One site documenting HTML said it couldn't be done, but apperently they were wrong... or maybe under a certain condition it was true.

I have figured out what to do now I think. It looks like I also needed the stripslashes due to magic_quotes and I found a site that showed how to generate a post from pure PHP code (not via a form).

I am going to play with it tonight and see if I get it all and I'll post what I am doing and get some feedback.

Thanks

I like htmlentities() because it is easier to type and does everything htmlspecialchars() and any HTML entity like a quote is converted also, but if all you are worried about is < and > then use htmlspecialchars().
