I'm trying to have an HTML input form saved into a mySQL database via PHP. It all works, but I need a few multiline input boxes.
I've looked at a lot of previous answers and textarea seems to be the way to go.
However, I can't find if multiple textareas can be put in a single form. I've tried giving them different names and labels, but it doesn't work.
I'm trying to do it all in HTML and PHP as I don't know Jscript.
Are multiple multiline inputs even allowed?
UPDATE
I've managed to write this code, but it changes the multilines into single lines. I see other people have asked this question, so I'll check those answers.
<?php
var_dump($_POST);
echo "<br><br>";
$singleline1 = '';
$singleline2 = '';
$singleline3 = '';
$multiline1 = '';
$multiline2 = '';
$multiline3 = '';
if(isset($_POST['submit'])):
echo $_POST['singleline1'] . "<br><br>";
echo $_POST['singleline2'] . "<br><br>";
echo $_POST['singleline3'] . "<br><br>";
echo $_POST['multiline1'] . "<br><br>";
echo $_POST['multiline2'] . "<br><br>";
echo $_POST['multiline3'] . "<br><br>";
endif;
?>

singleline2: <input type="text" name="singleline2"><br>
singleline3: <input type="text" name="singleline3"><br>
<textarea name="multiline1">Enter multiline1</textarea><br>
<textarea name="multiline2">Enter multiline2</textarea><br>
<textarea name="multiline3">Enter multiline3</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
FURTHER UPDATE
I've just realised I should have been using nl2br() around the multiline text I want to echo, as follows:
echo nl2br($_POST['multiline1']) . "<br><br>";
echo nl2br($_POST['multiline2']) . "<br><br>";
echo nl2br($_POST['multiline3']) . "<br><br>";
I suppose this was all quite simple. Anyway, I'll keep the question (with updates) hanging in case anyone finds it useful.
