Currently i am still trying to get used with html and php codes. I have created a page that display all contents from database into table that can be edited for each row. When the edit button is clicked it will go to the next page to edit the data.
Basically to edit, the content should be displayed on the edit page. Some content might be long so i wanted to use the <textarea> to fetch them because if i use the <input> tag the height cannot be adjusted means the content is displayed only in one line. But then when i used the <textarea> tag, it wont display anything at all. It didnt fetch the data. So i wonder if i missed something? I need to fetch/display the content from table with multiple lines. Here is part of code in my edit page.
<form method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>No Seq</td>
<td><input type="text" name="id" value="<?php echo $id;?>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Department</td>
<td> <select name="department" style="width: 452px;" value="<?php echo $department; ?>">
<option value="IT">it</option>
