using PHP with mySQL, or ASP with msAccess 2000 on a win2000Server web server; also using a "rich text format" utility to allow formatting of text in a text area: when i use the mySQL command "UPDATE", and data from the textarea is written to the database, it adds erroneous spaces in various places, as well as other characters like "?", blocks, etc. However, simply displaying data I add manually into the database field is fine, until the UPDATE is used. Using windows 2000 server, msAccess 2000, mySQL 5.x. current rich text formatting
my latest ASP code:
<!--#include file="../includes/db-connect-admin.asp"-->
<%
If Request.Form("submit") ="Update Homepage" Then
Dim strMessage
Dim sConnString, connection, sSQL
strMessage = replace(Request.Form("msgContent"), "'", "''")
Set rsHomepage = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQLHomepage = "UPDATE homepage SET message ='" & strMessage & "'"
'response.write strSQLHomepage
rsHomepage.Open strSQLHomepage, adoCon
Set rsMessage = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQLmsg1 = "SELECT * FROM homepage"
rsMessage.Open strSQLmsg1, adoCon
If rsMessage.BOF _
And rsMessage.EOF Then
strSQLmsg2 = "INSERT into homepage (message) values (" & strMessage & ")"
Else
strSQLmsg2 = "UPDATE homepage SET message = '" & strMessage & "'"
End If
rsHomepage.Open strSQLmsg2, adoCon
adoCon.Close
Set adoCon = Nothing
Response.Redirect "test3.asp"
Else
Dim adoCon
Dim rsHomepage
Dim strSQL
Set rsHomepage = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM homepage"
rsHomepage.Open strSQL, adoCon
Set rsHomepage2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM homepage"
rsHomepage2.Open strSQL, adoCon
If rsHomepage2.BOF _
And rsHomepage2.EOF Then
message = ""
Else
message = rsHomepage2("message")
End If
End If

</textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Homepage">
</form>
</div>
<!--end of "contentMain" -->

it displays what is in the database, and the UPDATE appears to work "successfully", of course with the erroneous data.
help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!!
