在textarea中显示数据库值[重复]

Question

• textarea can't have a default value [duplicate] 7 answers

I am trying to display the value of a textarea in a form that will enable someone to edit its value. The textarea displays nothing but I checked the database and there is a 2 sentence value. Here is the code I am using:

<textarea rows="5" cols="55" name="P1Bio" value="<?=$record['P1Bio']?>">
</textarea>

P1Bio is the field. On the same form, I am also getting values from textboxes and it is working fine. Here is the code that I am using for text boxes:

<input type="text" size="90" name="P1Email" value="
<?=$record['P1Email']?>">

Can someone please tell me why the textarea is not showing anything? Thank you.

</div>

Answer 1

There is no value attribute with textareas.

You need to put the content in between the open and closing tags like this:

<textarea rows="5" cols="55" name="P1Bio"><?=$record['P1Bio']?></textarea>
