PHP code src?

[runestation]

Okay, so I have a textarea, and I want the php code that's within it to not show as the initial value, but if i remove it, the code doesn't work...

How can I hide that code but still make it work?

 

Thanks

posting the code would help.

      <label><textarea name="currentxp">
      <?php
$name = $_POST['username'];
$filecontents = file_get_contents("http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=$name");
$stats = explode(',' , $filecontents);
$exp =  explode("\n", $stats[24]);
echo $exp[0]; //209351778
//echo print_r($stats);//dont need this
?>
        </textarea>     
</label>

The server is parsing the php code as php, you need to figure out a way to put it in quotes or something so the server doesn't see it as php code, but rather text in a text area.

but if it's not php code, and its only seen as text, won't the code not work?

You are showing the code block within php start/end tags so the code above and below must be just pure html. Just remove the start/end tags. If you want them to show also then replace < with < and > with >.

I don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want a text area to appear with the code in it, so others can see the source, or are you trying to get the text area to have the result of the code in it?

No, I don't want them to see the code. I want them to see nothing at first, and then once they enter their name, it does the function i made it do (which does work).

Wont happen the way you want. What you need to do is use a text box and use that form to call another with the function return inserted into the textarea or use javascript.

Why did you not use my provided code? http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,285779.msg1355375.html#msg1355375 It is far better then what you have now and more easily to work with.
