Menu
I am working on a simple newsletter/emailer
which will send from the email database.
Using <a href””> the textarea, when submitted, the
texarea variable fails, and the <a href> link is lost.
I cannot find a problem, am I missing something?
Here is the code:
[code=php]<?php
// ////////////////////////////// send message test ///////////////////
// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if($_POST[send_message] == 1){ // form first
// code removed
}else{ // from if post send_message = 1;
// /////////////////////////////// end send message test //////////////////
// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ////////////////////// edit contents /////////////////////////////
// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if($_POST[edit_contents] == 1){ // edit contents
// retrieve form variables
$subject = $_POST[subject];
$reply_to = $_POST[reply_to];
$from = $_POST[from];
$date = $_POST[date];
$message = $_POST[message];
?>

During preview it will display:
[ATTACH]14760[/ATTACH]
and the $message variable fails.
