Hallo

I did not find out how to have the input type as a textarea with columns and row. Can you give me a hint?

<input type="text" text name="text"   value="<?php echo (!empty($_SESSION["text"]) ? htmlspecialchars($_SESSION["text"]):"" ) ; ?>" size="80" />

Thank you

    you are right to use <textarea> tag. But what about my $_SESSION value?

      I assume you want the session value to show up inside the textarea?

      <textarea cols="60" rows="6"><?PHP echo $_SESSION['text']; ?></textarea>

      Something similar to that should do it.

        I have tried your suggestion but without success. Here the example:

        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
session_start();
echo "<form name=\"aaaa\" method=\"post\"  action=\"order_test.php\">";
?>
your name : <br/>
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo (!empty($_SESSION["name"]) ? htmlspecialchars($_SESSION["name"]):"" ) ; ?>" />
 <p>
 your text :
 <br /> 
<textarea cols="60" rows="6"> <?PHP echo $_SESSION['text']; ?></textarea>
</p>
 <p>  
        
 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="send" />   
        
 </p>
</body>
</html>

        And the reply script, order_test.php:

        <?php
session_start();

$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['text'] = $_POST['text'];

?>

<?php

$name= $_POST['name'];
$text= $_POST['text']; 
print " your name: $name</br><br />";
print "your message: $text  ";

?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" style="background-color:#FF0000" value="  I change my text" onClick="location.href='order_form_test.php'">

        The text is not parsed to the script, only the name. Why? How should the script look like? Thank you

          I got it, I forgot name="text".

          Thank you
