Newbie...text form DB into textboxes?

Can someone please help with this stupid hassle I'm having.

I can't seem to get data from a MySql dbase to be included into a textarea field so it can be modified then re-sent to the dbase.

How is this done.

Thanks in advance

Troy

I assume you already know how to retrieve the text from your database. So, the solution from there on is pretty simple 🙂

<textarea name="TA">this is some stupid text</textarea>

would include that text in the textarea field. So, <textarea name="something"><?php echo $var_containing_text; ?></textarea> should do the job.

Thanks Terje

I thought it would have to something easy... 🙂

I'll give it a whirl

Thanks again.
