Manual  /  Functions  /  Fields  /  TextArea

Arguments:

Name	Description
$title	Title of the field
$name	Name of the field
$validator	This can either be the name of your own validation function or the constant name of a predefined validator function. For more information about validators see Validators. It is also possible to use a method as a validation function. In this case you should pass an array where the first item is the object and the second item the name of the method.
$cols	The width of the textarea.
$rows	The height of the textarea
$extra	This can be extra information which will be included in the fields html tag. You can add for example some CSS or javascript.

Description:

This function generates a TextArea on the form

Note: When submitting very much data please dont use the FH_TEXT validator. The validator is to time/memory expensive and submitting will fail. For small and normal amounts of data you can just use FH_TEXT.

Example

<?php // include the class include('FH3/class.FormHandler.php'); // new $form object $form = new FormHandler(); // the textarea $form -> textArea("Message", "message", FH_TEXT); // button beneath it $form -> submitButton("Save"); // set the 'commit after form' function $form -> onCorrect("doRun"); // flush the form $form -> flush(); // function to show the selected items function doRun($data)  {     return "Your message: <br>\n".     nl2br($data["message"]); } ?>
