Updating form elements

[Kharlog]

I have a html form which has a textarea element. How can i update (replace the existing text with new) the text area element with php?

Thanks for your help!

depends on where your value is coming from and has been defined, but generally you may do something like this:

<?php
// this will print the value assigned to $var within your textarea:
?>
<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="50"><?php echo $var; ?></textarea>
