11Tami Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi, I need to use a text area in a form instead of an input field so a larger amount of text can be inserted. When I try to use this value="<?php echo $row[databasefield];?>" like I do in my input fields<input value="<?php echo $row[databasefield];?>" name="databasefield">and try to use it in a text area field instead.<textarea rows="5" cols="25" name="databasefield" value="<?php echo $row[databasefield];?>" ></textarea>The database property won't appear in the form like it will with an input field. How do I adjust for the text area field to show the database info instead? Right now nothing is appearing in the text area field. Thank you very much.
