That's not how you specify the value of a textarea. It should be between the tags like so... <textarea name="name" rows="10" cols="10">$String</textarea> And I'm assuming that $String has already had htmlentities run on it.

When I put this line inside the php tags the size comes out about 2 rows by 10 columns regardless of the value of rows and cols.

Check the source of the page being created. I'm guessing $String contains a single quote and then a sequence of characters that is causing this behaviour.

Any ideas on how to format this would be greatly appreciated. The mySQL db column TYPE I am calling is Blob not null.
