[SOLVED] textarea in php document

[DangerM0use]

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

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";

[aebstract]

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.
