I operate an EMS Job Website and had someone build a database for me. When posting a job to our website;

http://www.fieldmedicsjobs.com/forms/postjob.htm

In the text area to describe the job I guess the employers are just cut and pasting from another document. I get all kinds of crazy symbols when its posted to the site; example

A dispatcherâ€™s responsibility

and

â€¢ Experience in ambulance dispatching.
â€¢ Knowledge of medical terminology.
â€¢ Experience with customer service.

I am assuming they were suposeed to be bullets but not sure, as for the first example I have no idea what caused it.

I am not very good with PHP yet so what I have come up with so far is just to disable the HTML in the text area

I have found this code <textarea onchange="this.disabled = true"></textarea>

But it does not seem to work. Where ever I put it it knocks out my drop down menu for my States in the form.

Can anyone help me or tell me what I should do or what I am doing wrong?

for disabeling a textbox or that you could use php to let it check something lets say you have a form

<?php
if($_POST['submit'])
{
$check = "disabled";
}
?>
<form method="post">
<input <? echo $check; ?> type="text"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send">
</form>

If it's a named variable in an html form, it should be available from the http post operation. Or you could pass it as an argument in the php cgi call
