DangerM0use Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have a php document that takes information from a database table and places it in its relevent text field in a form. Now, all the fields that are textboxes work fine and display the info, but when I changed one of the textboxes to a textarea the data no longer displays. I have tried 2 different things to try and get it to work; echo "Article: <input name='article' type='textarea' cols='65' rows='15' value='".$row['article']."></textarea><br>\n"; echo "Article: <textarea name='article' cols='65' rows='15' value='".$row['article']."'></textarea><br>\n"; Neither won't display any of the data from the database. Any idea where i'm going wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaface Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Textareas dont have values, you put the value in between the ></textarea> e.g: echo "Article: <textarea name='article' cols='65' rows='15'>".$row['article']."</textarea><br>\n"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aebstract Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Try this: echo "Article: <textarea name='article' cols='65' rows='15'>".$row['article']."</textarea><br>\n"; Well I am not sure as to how you should do your quotation marks, but try placing it right there.
