Getting ss include in text box to work

**andrew99** · 10-22-2009, 01:49 AM

I'm moving much of my site over from .shtml files to .php files.

I had this code:

<td><textarea rows="5" name="S1" cols="60"></textarea></td>

And I changed it over to this:

<td><textarea rows="5" name="S1" cols="60">
<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/pctext.html');
?>
</td>

But, it's not working. It shows the include inside of the text box, but it cuts off everything on page below the box. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks for any suggestions.

Close the text area (</textarea>) on the PHP version

Hi,

Replace the new code with

<td><textarea rows="5" name="S1" cols="60">
<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/pctext.html');
?>
</textarea></td>

And I hope this should resolve your problem.

Cheers,

Sorry about that - I should have seen that one. Thanks for the diaper change.
