how to refill a textarea?

[petera3]

I am a php n00b and I can't seem to refill a textarea. I can refill all my other form items. Any suggestions?

I have tried

----------------------------------

Opcode long description (prints on the job cards) :<br><textarea  wrap='soft' maxlength='410' rows='8' cols='50' type='text' name='Opcode_long_desc' value=

<?php if ($refill==1){ echo $_POST['Opcode_long_desc'];}else echo ""; ?>

></textarea><br>

----------------------------------

***I have also tried***

----------------------------------

Opcode long description (prints on the job cards) :<br><textarea  wrap='soft' maxlength='410' rows='8' cols='50' type='text' name='Opcode_long_desc' value="<?php if (isset($_POST['Opcode_long_desc'])) echo $_POST['Opcode_long_desc']; ?>

></textarea><br>

----------------------------------

Thanks,
