Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If there's no attribute "value" then there's nothing to print then there's no output. print $textarea->nodeName; instead of print $textarea->getAttribute("value"); does produced some expected thing.
