What is the result of $record['wel_area']. If this is a multidimensional array then you will need to access it differently...
Example: echo $record[0][0]."\n"; Try this is your text area and see if that comes out...

If I put the same value ( value=\"{$record['wel_area']}\" ) on a text line it works just fine however using the same value for a textarea doesnt give me any results nor does it give me an error message to go on, if there is a way to output the code to the screen like a dos echo command that would help out alot.
