textarea from mysql

[Anon]

I am wondering if someone can point out a good tutorial or code sample on how to query a database and pull the results into a textarea within a form. I just need an example of how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance.

I'm not including everything here, just as you requested a "sample".

Assuming 1 item is returned from your query, and assuming you can figure out how to get into the elements of an array.

<?PHP
$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result = mysql_query($query,$link);
$array = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>

<textarea cols="30" rows="10">
<?PHP print $array[elementyoufetched]; ?>
</textarea>
