I tried using Ckeditor for a project. The < textarea > can now be added to database but when I tried to add an < input > tag as shown below, I couldn't save it. Only the < textarea > is saved in the database:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Name</label>
<input type="text" name ="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Editor</label>
<textarea name ="text" class="form-control" id="text" rows="3" placeholder="Textarea"></textarea>
</div>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" value ="Submit">
</form>
This is the Php:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$text=$_POST['text'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$con=mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','ckeditor') or die(ERROR);
$query=mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO content(content,author) VALUES ('$text','$name')");
if($query==1)
{
echo "<script>
window.location.href='./ask_question.php';
alert('Success');
</script>";
exit;
}
else
{
echo'<script>alert("Failed To Insert")</script>';
}
}
?>
This is because you have duplicated the name attribute ("text") in both elements. When doing form submission, name is used instead of id.
A slight modification should suffice:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Editor</label>
<textarea name ="text" class="form-control" id="text" rows="3" placeholder="Textarea"></textarea>
</div>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" value ="Submit">
</form>
