Hello how I could assign a textarea with a variable value? Although I tried to achieve an allocation like a normal <input, but it does not work so I have no success with textarea. The code looks like following fragment. $problem_val = mysqlclean($_SESSION, "problem_eb", 500, $connection); <textarea style="width: 320px; height: 150px;" heigth="30" width="50" cols="1" rows="1" name="problem_eb" value="<?php echo $problem_val?>"></textarea> Best regards, Joerg Kuehne

There is no value attribute of textarea...to put text in there, you place it between the <textarea></textarea> tags. i.e. <textarea style="width: 320px; height: 150px;" heigth="30" width="50" cols="1" rows="1" name="problem_eb" ><?php echo $problem_val; ?></textarea> Also worth mentioning that you may run into problems if you don't use htmlentities on $problem_val, like so... <textarea style="width: 320px; height: 150px;" heigth="30" width="50" cols="1" rows="1" name="problem_eb" ><?php echo htmlentities($problem_val); ?></textarea> -Stut -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
