htmlentities help

[Skippy]

I'm building a little script for myself where it'll get the html from a file so it can be edited.

This is my code:

PHP Code:

<?php
    echo "<form name=\"myform\" action=\"\" method=\"POST\">";
    echo "<textarea rows=\"20\" cols=\"50\>";

    $str=htmlentities(file_get_contents('otherheader.php'));
    echo $str;

    echo "</textarea>";
    echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">";
    echo "</form>";
?>

When I take away the form bit it works however when I put the form part in it just returns </form> within the text area. How can I stop this?

Thanks.

Your Code change to:

<form name="myform" action="" method="POST">
<textarea rows="20" cols="50">

PHP Code:

<?php
//$charse='UTF-8';
//$str=stripcslashes($str);
$str=file_get_contents('yourpage.html/.php/.chm/.txt');
echo htmlentities($str);
//echo htmlentities($str, ENT_COMPAT, $charset);
?>

</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Whether your code was fundamenatlly OK, I don;t know but you missed off your closing " on line 2 in your OP.

 echo "<textarea rows=\"20\" cols=\"50\>";

should have been

 echo "<textarea rows=\"20\" cols=\"50\">";

I would try sir.jones code though since it seems to make more sense to me.

Bazz is right. Fix your php.

PHP Code:

echo "<textarea rows=\"20\" cols=\"50\">";
