Mysql field type for </textarea>? : <p>I have a mysql field type "tinytext" and am using performing and update via my form with following extract:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!-- Text input
&lt;div class="control-group"&gt;
  &lt;label class="control-label" for="myinput"&gt; Input code&lt;/label&gt; 
  &lt;div class="controls"&gt; 
&lt;textarea class="form-control" id="myinput" name="myinput"  rows="4" &gt;&lt;?php echo $myinput;?&gt; &lt;/textarea&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;  
</code></pre>

<p>However the field is not recieving the data properly.
What mysql field type do I use for a textarea of about 4 lines?</p>
