try this is standard html, you will find this out even if you open Wintendo
Frontpage
<textarea rows="3" name="namehere" cols="30"><? echo $text; ?></textarea>
really you should be able to write html before learning php

Subject: [PHP] how to echo data in a textarea
Could someone please show me how to echo data into a textarea field of a
form?
e.g. I have used the following in text fields:
<input type="text" name=id value="<? echo "$id"; ?>" size=3 maxlength=3>,
but textareas don't have the "value" attribute and I haven't been able to
come up with a way that works or find a working example.
Thanks,
SW
