Edit User - Updating - Text Areas


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have been wrestling with textareas in one way or another for quite some time.

 

I would like to add a text area within the Edit User form however, when I update the information from the data base does not appear in the text area. The information does appear in the other fields.

 

This is the last piece of code that I tested:

 

<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>

 

<textarea name="description" rows="5" cols="40" value="' . $row[7] . '" />

 

</textarea></p>

 

Thanks Marie

Actually place the content within the textarea tags. For example:

 

<textarea name="description" rows="5" cols="40">' . $row[7] . '</textarea>

 

Also, be careful with your markup. You have an unnecessary closing p tag and you're closing your opening textarea tag, which is wrong.
