mbrown

Recommended Posts

$softwareQuery = "SELECT * FROM `software` WHERE `SKU` = '$SKU'";
$softwareResult = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query($softwareQuery));
[/coe]



When I echo out $softwareResult[OtherInfo] it display but when i put it in something like this: 

[code]
<textarea name='otherinfo' id='otherinfo' cols='45' rows='5' value='$softwareResult[OtherInfo]'></textarea>

 

it does not display it in the form.

 

any ideas why?

 

like I said when i do the following it works

 

echo $softwareResult[OtherInfo]

$softwareResult[OtherInfo] will give you PHP warning error in your logs for "Invalid array index" or something simliar.

You MUST use quotes for associative array indices.

i.e.

$softwareResult['OtherInfo']

 

You also haven't shown the full code for the following line:

<textarea name='otherinfo' id='otherinfo' cols='45' rows='5' value='$softwareResult[OtherInfo]'></textarea>

 

We don't know how the above is being output? By echo? By print?

 

timmah1's solution is the correct one. So either post the full code or implement his solution.

?>

 

I implemented timmah1's solution

 

<textarea name='otherinfo' id='otherinfo' cols='45' rows='5'>$softwareResult[OtherInfo]</textarea>
