Editable Text Area

[ALEX09]

Hey, I'm having problems and need help.

I'm looking to create a text area code where you can save it, and then it posts your text on the same page. Then when you return to the page, you can edit it.

I got the basic text area code, and I've been looking on google, combining some codes, but couldn't figure it out, please help. Thanks

Just to give you some idea.

Write the codes to a file (codes.txt)
To do that look through here:

Good luck!

(might want to check the post a php snippet section of this forum)

Yea, I'm lost looking through there. I'm a noob at this stuff, I mostly work with mafia texted based games like thugz4lyfe.com, where the files are there, then I play with them from there.

it depends what is your use with that text area and what text size it will be.

you said `save`, but you might want to save it on mySql db which can be faster..

font size, 10-12, dont really matter and yes... save it with mysql

when I say save, it's like posting right, it would be like a message board, but isntead of posting numerous message, you edit the same one all the time.

when i wrote size i meant the length of the hall thing, not font size.

it's a simple thing to learn and very basic.
I suggest you'll start from the beginning, and if you got a trouble then post here.

start learn forms and when you think you hit it move on to sql.

good luck!
