Menu
when I submit my form a message is displayed at the top of the screen stating that the form has been submitted. however the css container i have my form in called ‘commentinside’ resizes (shrinks). this causes the ‘container’ to shrink which ruins the form design by creating a gap. is there anyway that i can get my form not to resize??
here is my html:
[CODE]
<?php
if (isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {
$month = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[‘month’]));
$date = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[‘date’]));
$year = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[‘year’]));
$time = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[‘time’]));
$title = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[‘title’]));
$entry = $_POST[‘entry’];
$timestamp = strtotime($month . ” ” . $date . ” ” . $year . ” ” . $time);
$entry = nl2br($entry);
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$title = addslashes($title);
$entry = addslashes($entry);
}
include(“./includes/dbconnect.php”);
if (!empty($title)&&!empty($entry)) {
$sql = “INSERT INTO php_blog (timestamp,title,entry) VALUES (‘$timestamp’,’$title’,’$entry’)”;
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print(“Can’t insert into table php_blog.<br />” . $sql . “<br />” . mysql_error());
if ($result != false) {
print “Your entry has successfully been entered into the database.”;
}
mysql_close();
}
}
?>
<?php
$current_month = date(“F”);
$current_date = date(“d”);
$current_year = date(“Y”);
$current_time = date(“H:i”);
?>
