When I parse the code below, I get the textfield value appearing in the text box as it should, however how do I encode the value that's inputed into the textarea box. (I wanna transmit this value to another page) The information that's entered into the textarea has a bunch of non-standard characters and when I pass it via post or GET I need to php encode it (then decode the value on the transmitted page to read). I guess I need to add the encode function with a hidden field possibly? How would the textarea section below translate into a hidden field that would create a value variable to encode and pass along to the resulting page?

<form action="index.php" method="GET"> 
<p> 
<div style="border: 1px solid #808080;width:100%;height:325px" > 
<div id="inputdraw_place"> 
</div> 
 <script type="text/javascript"> 		
var original = new InputDraw("inputdraw.non-commercial.v1.5.swf", "inputdraw_place", {id:"input_draw_test_svg", width:"100%", height:"100%", animation:60, stroke_style:"5 1 rgb(170,34,34)", background_image:"/images/backgrounds/lisbon.jpg"});
</script>	
</div> 
<label for="input_draw_test_svg"> <h3>Result</h3> </label> 
<p>The result end up in this textarea that normally would be a hidden field.
<br/> 


[B]<textarea cols="50" id="input_draw_test_svg" name="input_draw_testsvg" rows="10"></textarea> [/B]
<input id=""input_draw_test_svg" name="id" type="hidden" value="6" /> 


<input type="hidden" name=""input_draw_testsvg" id="input_draw_test_svg">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Data!" name="submit">
</form>

    The information that's entered into the textarea has a bunch of non-standard characters and when I pass it via post or GET I need to php encode it so I somehow need to add the encode function with a hidden field possibly?

    You just need to use [man]htmlspecialchars/man to escape the text for display. The browser will encode the submitted form values accordingly.

      Thanks........man laserlight you've been around for awhile, you answered one of my questions about two years ago lol. See ya around!

        You're welcome 🙂
