i want to embed this code in 520 tag so that it places text file into 520 (abstract) tag before saving the record ....
I assume you mean that you want to do this in the Koha Cataloging interface?
echo '<textarea name="stuff" cols="60" rows="10">'; echo stripslashes($theData); echo '</textarea><br>';
This might work if you were working with Perl (which is what Koha is written in) and you were modifying the addbiblio.pl script. As it is you have a couple of options: 1. Deploy your PHP script as a separate page. Copy the resulting text from your PHP page and copy it manually into the relevant textarea in Koha's MARC editor. 2. Configure your PHP script to return plain text and write a some custom javascript to use AJAX to grab the text from the PHP script and automatically populate the 520 tag textarea. It sounds possible, but I'm not sure how you would connect the two pieces: how would the MARC editor pass an identifying token to the PHP script to tell it which record to pull? That's something you'd have to figure out. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
