Is this what you are looking for Jesse:

<html>

<head>
<title>Wiki Text Tester</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php

echo "Contents of \$_POST array: <br />";

while (list($key, $value) = each($_POST))
  {
  echo "$key: $value <br />";
  }

?>

<br />

<form method="post" action="" accept-charset="utf-8">

<textarea name="wikitext" cols="80" rows="10">
<?php echo $_POST['wikitext'] ?>
</textarea>

<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

The above also works with <html> or html in the text area.

I tried your code on my machine but it was doing strange things to the URL for the page.

Subject:  Interesting POST error

One of our developers has brought an interesting problem to my attention.
I'll start off by describing our environment.  We are running a Solaris 10
server with Apache 2.2.6.  PHP version 5.2.5 is loaded as a module and
appears to be working fine.  However, our developer ran into a problem
using dokuwiki.  When he submits a form with a <html> tag in it, he
receives a 400 error.  He threw together this little script to verify the
problem:

<html>
<body>
<?php
echo sprintf("%s", $_POST['wikitext']);
?>
<br />
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"
accept-charset="utf-8">
<textarea name="wikitext" style="height: 300px;" cols="80"
rows="10"></textarea>

<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

This can be viewed here:  http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/php/PostTest.php

As you can see, the script does nothing more than take what is submitted
and display it on the screen.  However, if you type in <html> then click
on the Submit Query button, you will get a 400 error.

Does anyone know why this is occurring?  Am I looking at some php.ini
parameter change to fix this?
