Creating MySQL Database Table

[rmccoy]

I have a form on a website that has contact information. The only part I am having trouble with is creating the section in the MySQL database which captures a comments section.

What type of format do I set that up in MySQL? text? textarea?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean capturing a text from the form and put it in the database? If so, just add a column of the text type and insert it.

If you mean anything else, be more specific

Depends on how long you would allow the comments to be. If it would fit as a VARCHAR, then you'd definitely want that- otherwise, TEXT can take care of a much longer string. Liam Morley
