Your problem is probably not with the form passing the data; it's in your
storing it in the db. Remember there's probably lots of \n characters in a
text field. If you try to put these into a db field your results are
unpredictable; meaning the db software may or may not handle them properly.
Try using addslashes ($TextField=addslashes($TextField)) before writing and
stripslahes ( ($TextField=stripslashes($TextField)) after the db write to
return the data to it's original values.

It does work on the face of it. But when you
query the database the field is empty even if you filled
it in.
