Textarea with a variable in it

[eluser]Fr3aked0ut[/eluser]
Hi, I am building a new system which works with CodeIgniter (Mhmm...) of course.
So, I tried to make some textarea with a variable in it, e.g:

Code:

<textarea name='meta' id="meta" cols="55" rows="10">
<?=$meta?>
</textarea>

Now my whole site is in the textarea.(All of the site's source code is in the textarea and does not display in the web itself).

What should I do?


Thanks in advance.

Post more code (controller and view)!

[eluser]Fr3aked0ut[/eluser]
Actually, what I posted is part of my view file.
Here is what you need (I cant give whole view file it's long and you dont need it)

Code:

<form action="" method="post">
<strong>Tags</strong><br />
&lt;textarea name='meta' id="meta" cols="55" rows="10"&gt;
&lt;?=$meta?&gt;
&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br />
<strong>Web closed?</strong><br />
&lt;input type="radio" name="closed" value="1" /&gt;Yes
&lt;input type="radio" name="closed" value="0" /&gt;Nah..
<br />
&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

Controller(current page's function):

Code:

function system()
    {
        global $url;
        $sys = array();
        $sys['site'] = $url['site'];
        $this->load->database();
        if( isset($_POST['submit']) )
        {
        $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM dev_system');
        $row = $query->row();
        $sys['meta'] = $row->meta;
        $sys['message'] = '';
        }
        else
        {
            if( empty($_POST['meta']) OR $_POST['closed'] == "" )
            {
                $sys['message'] = 'אנא מלא את כל הפרטים';
            }
            else
            {
                $closed = $this->input->post('closed');
                $meta = $this->input->post('meta');
                $query = $this->db->query("INSERT INTO dev_system (closed,meta) VALUES ('{$closed}','{$meta}')");
                $sys['message'] = 'הגדרות עודכנו בהצלחה.';
            }
        }
        return $this->load->admin_view('system', $sys, true);
    }

First of all, don't use short open tags.

Code:

return $this->load->admin_view('system', $sys, true);

Where are you returning these contents to?
Did you extend the loader class? Because by default there is no 'admin_view'.

[eluser]Fr3aked0ut[/eluser]
Of course, I made the function admin_view in Loader.php.
And im returning it to:

Code:

$output .= $this->$page();

Please post the contents of that function also.

It's possible that your problem is being caused by invalid HTML. [url="validator.w3.org"]It is well worth validating your code[/url], to be sure. I've seen simple typos mess up my entire Web site.

[eluser]Fr3aked0ut[/eluser]
The function is working, 100% because im using it for all of my admin control panel.

Code:

function admin_view($view, $vars = array(), $return = FALSE)
    {
        $query = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM dev_system');
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
        $this->_ci_view_path = APPPATH.'admin_view/'. $row['admin_skin']. '/';
        return $this->_ci_load(array('_ci_view' => $view, '_ci_vars' => $this->_ci_object_to_array($vars), '_ci_return' => $return));
    }

I dont think W3C could check it, because to see it they have to login first (Admin control panel..)

Then use "Validate by direct Input" or "Validate by File upload".

Just run htmlspecialchars($meta) and see if that does the trick.

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Blast! I just came on here to suggest doing that. Hehe.
