I recently submitted a snippet to the php section for a basic file editor script, which contained a textarea tag. But when going back to modify the submission, the submit button was acting weird and mixing in with my script (image attached).

Apparently, special characters, like ", &, <, and >, are not being properly converted and results in breaking the snippet textarea.

i don't think it was an issue with the textarea, odds are the page just loaded odd as they do from time to time. trust me < and > are converted properly, just look at the source if you don't believe me

I did look at the source, and have accessed the page multiple times. This is when modifying the snippet, not regular viewing.

If you can, have you tried going to Modify Snippet for this snippet?

I'll take a look Styx. Thanks for the heads up.

weird, ok i see what you mean.
It must be something to do with the fact that you used a textarea tag and concatenated. I suppose that the invision code must use the variable $contents as well, and perhaps this is why it allowed the jumping out of the actual textarea.
Would it be corrected if the single quotes were made double?

clicking the save button actually attempts to submit the form as well, this is an issue that could be exploited i'm sure.

It's odd that this oddity doesn't show up elsewhere, eg previews, etc, only in the modify.
