here is a snippet from my form

<td><textarea name="Restore Other" id="Restore Other"></textarea></td>

We'll need a little more code than this. Probably a good idea to show us the form and the code where you are sending it to yourself.

Ya, we'll need to see the full form.

Make sure you have a submit button, and that on the server side you are pulling the information from the $_POST superglobal.

lol, superglobal? did we need to know tht

[Demonslay]

Yes. $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, $_FILES, and $_ENV are all superglobals and are accessible from anywhere in a script; unlike their $HTTP_*_VARS counter-parts.

Just something I like to make sure is clear when I mention them, as I am one of those 'use the correct term or else' kind of persons.

The more proper question is did you need to ask that? Demonslay merely used a word to describe what he ment when he said "$_POST." He could have used "array" but chose the more accurate description of "superglobal." If zoom ever desided to search for more info on this "$_POST" thingy, knowing that could prove useful. So yes, you did need to know that.

Could you keep your post relavent to the subject next time? Or wait for zoom to reply...?
