Hi,
This is part that needs more words/a better description:
"I got this : This is a test. Don"
My problem is: 'I got this.'.
My exect problem is 'got'.
WHAT did you get WHERE?
Did the browser after submitting say that?
Or did it appear like that in some newsgroup?
In case of browser: Did the text appear like that in an input-element? Or as
plain HTML?
Did you look at the source of the HTML? (rightmousebutton on the offending
page and select 'view source'.)
You should give us that information, or you will be stuck with my 'wild
guesses'.

Keep trying. :-)

That is a problem when discussing a PHP problem. Seriously, you, or your
friend, should know roughly what he is doing.
