Yeah it is not multidimensional at all, a simple text blob is what should be pulled into the textarea. I am not trying to query multipled record fields at all. One field per textarea. Do you know of a good tutorial on pulling sql queries into textareas? If you do please let me know as I have searched php.net and other sites for a tutorial on textarea's but have not found any nor is there any reference to such a problem in any of the php or mysql books i have.
