fetching database values into a textarea

[Anon]

hi,
can you please tell me that how to put the fetched value from mysql database into textarea.
i have tried the following tag but itsnot working
Bibliography: <textarea rows=10 cols=10 name=bibliography value=<?php echo $myrow["bibliography"] ?> ></textarea>

This if used shows an empty textarea of 10*10 but doesnt show any value in it.....

Please tell me how to do that...

Here's how you do it:

Bibliography: <textarea rows="10" cols="10" name="bibliography"><?php echo htmlentities($myrow["bibliography"]); ?></textarea>

Also, it's always a good idea to use htmlentities() on anything you fetch from a DB and print out directly, unless it really is HTML code, of course.
