Re: textarea vs. type="text" data difference?

##The data is the same. I've been up a long time.

BUT something is still very weird.

Doc1.php (loaded in web browser)
//contents of Doc1.php
include functions.php
include formProcessor.php
include form.php

Calling the "protectText()" function in "functions.php" from
"formProcessor.php" with data posted from "form.php" works on data posted
from textarea fields but does NOT on data posted from type="text".

//contents of functions.php ONLY works on textarea fields
The fundtion in function.php is:
function protectText($tv) {
        $tv = stripslashes($tv);
        $tv = str_replace("\"","[QT]",$tv);
        $tv = str_replace("\r","<br>",$tv);
        return $tv;
}

BUT if I put the same function in "formprocessor.php" it works!??

//contents of formprocessor.php THIS works on both
function TSTprotectText($tv) {
        $tv = stripslashes($tv);
        $tv = str_replace("\"","[QT]",$tv);
        $tv = str_replace("\r","<br>",$tv);
        return $tv;
}

TSTprotectText($_POST['field']);

Now how can that be?
