Php into an html text area

[designedfree4u]

I'm trying to make a scrollable area that contains Php.

 

I tryed:

 

<form name="form1" method="post" action=""><textarea name="textarea">
<?php
echo "<img src='http://jaybirdfolio.com/News%20Template/TodaysNews/MainNews/mccain.gif'>"; 
?> 
</textarea>

</form>

 

But it just gives me text with in the box. How would i create a scrollable php area?

 

Thank You

<textarea>
<?php
echo(htmlspecialchars('<?php echo FOO; ?>'));
?>
</textarea>

 

<textarea>

<?php

echo(htmlspecialchars('<?php echo FOO; ?>'));

?>

</textarea>

yeah you can echo that in,

 

you can also use JS based editors for your textarea like Tiny_MCE, FCKeditor, which will make it like a WYSIWYG editor
