Hey coders.

I have this guestbook: http://p-ahlqvist.com/gb/gb.php

Watching that in IE the textarea in which one type messages is reeeaaaly small, in Mozilla, however, it is presented as it should.

Why is that, and can I possibly fix it. there is gassillion of .php files, and I'm too much of a newbie to even try (but I have, and found nothing).

Do anyone have a clue what to do here ?

Tell me what you need to know and I'll post it or mail it to you. I really need help, so, please guy's and gal's...know what to do, hehe...

Patric.

Well, that exact thought have crossed my mind aswell, so I've tried to do without them, which results in:

Mozilla
IE

So, I've come to the conclusion that it is some kind of PHP "hack"...anyway, it kind of exceeds my level of knowledge so to speak ;), so I turned to you lot...

D'ya have any idea ? Or anyone else ?

Patric.

I'd have to see the php source of what you're working with. It looks like the php generated some html or something and escaped the single-quotes ' -> \', but when it was brought back in it didn't strip the slashes. I've run into this problem putting things into a database and bringing them out before.

But the problem does lie in the slashes- the 30 and 10 are embedded in all those slashes and mozilla strips them out but IE doesn't. If you can find the spot in the php code where it echoes out that HTML code and the slashes are in the PHP code, then just strip all of them out but the ones that escape the single-quotes.

Hope that helps any!

Tethered, thanks for replying. Ok, I don't know much about PHP, really...That said, moving on ;).

If I understand you correctly I'm supposed to find somewhere in the php code where the html is echco'd out. And where the slashes are in the php code and take the slashes away (except the ones that that escape the single-quotes ??)

Ok, so far so good (or not) I've found this in the index.php:
[PHP] function FormText ( $inTag = "" ) {
// prints the textarea for the entry
global $_entry;

out("";
}[/PHP]

Could that be something ? Which I gues does this in the HTML code:
[HTML]
[/HTML]

I also found this in the functions.php:

[PHP]function vgb_formatText( $t ) {
$o = "";
$buffer = "";
$tlen = strlen($t);
$inTag = false;
for ($i=0;$i<$tlen;$i++) {
if ($inTag) {
$o .= $t[$i];
if ($t[$i] == '>')
$inTag = false;
}
elseif ($t[$i] == '<') {
if ($buffer != "") {
$o .= vgb_removeHTML(vgb_UndoNoHTML($buffer),false);
$buffer = "";
}
$o .= "<";
$inTag = true;
}
else
$buffer .= $t[$i];
}
if ($buffer != "")
$o .= vgb_removeHTML(vgb_UndoNoHTML($buffer),false);
return $o;
}[/PHP]



God allmighty, I can search my brains out without finding anything here...I've been in contact with the writer but he has not replied. I imagen that this would be an easy task for anybody who's able to read thesse things, but I'm totally lost.

Would you mind having a look at the php's if I was to mail the to you, or am I asking to much ?

I really can't find those slashes in any php file at all. I find them in the style.inc file, but I can't take them away there as stated in earlier post.

Ohohh, found this aswell (whilst talking about specialchars):

[PHP]function vgb_formdata( $t ) {
return htmlspecialchars(vgb_string($t),ENT_QUOTES);
}

function vgb_removeHTML( $t, $ent = true ) {
if (!$ent)
return htmlspecialchars($t,ENT_QUOTES);
$h = explode("&",$t);
$h[] = "";
$o = htmlspecialchars($h[0],ENT_QUOTES);
$i = 1;
while ($i < count($h)-1) {
$b = true;
$o .= "&";

if ((($m = strlen($h[$i])) > 3) && ($h[$i][0] == '#')) {
$j = 1;
if (($h[$i][1] == "x") || ($h[$i][1] == "X")) {
$j++;
if (eregi("[abcdef0-9]",$h[$i][$j]))
{
do {
$j++;
}
while (($j < $m) && (eregi("[abcdef0-9]",$h[$i][$j])));
if (($j < $m) && ($h[$i][$j] == ';'))
$b = false;
}
}
else {
if (($h[$i][$j] >= '0') && ($h[$i][$j] <= '9'))
{
do {
$j++;
}
while (($j < $m) && ($h[$i][$j] >= '0') && ($h[$i][$j] <= '9'));
if (($j < $m) && ($h[$i][$j] == ';'))
$b = false;
}
}
}
elseif (($m > 2) && (eregi("[a-z0-9]",$h[$i][0]))) {
$j = 0;
do {
$j++;
}
while (($j < $m) && (eregi("[a-z0-9]",$h[$i][$j])));
if (($j < $m) && ($h[$i][$j] == ';'))
$b = false;
}

if ($b)
$o .= "amp;";
$o .= htmlspecialchars($h[$i],ENT_QUOTES);
$i++;
}

return $o;
}[/PHP]
