stripslashes should not be needed...
if anything addslashes() may be needed if you have single quotes in the
text area.
I would say step 1 is to echo out your insert query to the page before
you even excute the insert, to verify the query, and that you are
getting the proper information from the form.

I seem to be having a problem posting text from a text area. I have a
form
that posts data into a database and there are input fields which seem to
post the data fine. I know this because the entry is changing in the
database, but the text area text doesn't seem to be posting. I double
checked to make sure i got the names right, but it still doesn't seem
to be
working. Before I put it into the database I'm using stripslashes. I
thought
that might of been the problem and I changed it to trim, but that didn't
work. In the database, the field that I'm putting it into is a
longtext type
with fulltext.
