Importing $Values into HTML <TextArea>

[cdherold]

Hey everybody,

I'm having a problem importing a string back into a <textarea> in HTML.

Here's the background ...

I have people submit Resumes to a resume database. I want them to be able to come back any time they want and review their previously submitted data, and update it if they want.

So, anyways, reconstituting other variables (email, etc) into input areas of type=text is fine and easy with value="<? echo $email; ?>", but there is no "value=" attribute for <textarea>.

How am i suppossed to recreate the info i have in the database in the textarea after i have retrieved the resume information as $resume from the database?

thanks,

cdherold

hi,
thats quite easy ... all you have to do ist this:
<textarea name="content"><? echo"$resume"; ?></textarea>
