[FX.php List] Update text area field

[Derrick Fogle]

There shouldn't be any technical difference between input from  
textarea and input types, except that textarea is likely to have  
newlines, whereas input types won't. I would echo out the actual  
values that are coming back from the submit before the database  
action, and see if there's something in the data that's causing the  
DB to choke. Also remember you need to encode any HTML characters,  
otherwise the display will get cut off at the offending character:

> <textarea name="Description" cols="15" rows="3"><? echo htmlentities 
> ($searchData['Description'][0]); ?></textarea>
