Thanks, Dan. I copied your code exactly and posted it here:
http://www.tidefans.com/test.php I pasted a large part of O'Henry's "Gift of
the Magi" into the textarea, and it gets repeated, as before.
Thanks for any help,
Elizabeth

Subject: Re: [PHP] textarea posting duplicate text
Create a new file:
test.php
with this exactly in the contents:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>TEST</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="test.php" METHOD="post" NAME="test">
<TEXTAREA NAME="textarea" ROWS="4"
COLS="40"></TEXTAREA>
<P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submitButtonName"></P>
</FORM>
<P><? print_r($_REQUEST); ?></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Load the page, enter some text and hit submit. Rule out some strange
issue with your page. Confirm it's a PHP issue not a coding one.
