Form submission adds a
in front of the beginning text in the form

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

Ok, I am using a PHP editing form (previous person built) that submits data into an MSSQL database this works fine however when the information is submitted into the database and later retrieved the the form page (for editing) there is a 
 at the beginning of the text. If the fields start with a 

that 
 is not inserted. I have been trying to figure out how to stop this. One thing I tried ends up removing all 
 in the text which makes the formatting disappear, How can I keep it from inserting the 
 at the top but keeping the 
 everywhere else? here is the code I have: ( I am giving you everything up to the first field where I have the issue appear)

function fromhtml ($x) {
  $x = preg_replace("/
/i","\n\n",$x);
  //$x = preg_replace("/
/i","\n",$x);
  $x = preg_replace("/
/i","\n
",$x);

  return $x;
}

$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];


$course_id = @$_GET["course"];

if ($course_id == "") {

$sqlquery = "SELECT id, title, goals, outline, reference, deliverymode, updated2 = CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), updated, 120)
FROM courses WHERE division_id = '$division_id' ORDER by id";


$result = mssql_query($sqlquery);
$number = mssql_num_rows($result);

print "\n";

$i =0;while($number > $i){

        $course_id =  mssql_result($result,$i,"id");
    $reference = mssql_result($result,$i,"reference");
    $updated = mssql_result($result,$i,"updated2");print"";}}else{print"Based on $reference";}print"\n";print"\n";  
        $i++;}print"

";
    if ($reference == "") {
            print "division=$division_id&course=$course_id>$course_id";
    } else {
            print "$course_id";
    }
    print "
";
        print mssql_result($result,$i,"title");
    print "
";
    if ($reference == "") {
        if ( (mssql_result($result,$i,"goals")=="") and (mssql_result($result,$i,"outline")=="") ) {
            print "No syllabus, or incomplete
        
      
         
    
     
$updated

    exit;
}

$result = mssql_query($sqlquery);
