insert dynamic values into text area

[edoplaza]

I am trying to insert some values into the different fields of an update form:

 

>
</pre>
<table>Titulo:    Fecha: Lugar: Hora: Comentarios:  




  </table>
<br><br><br

 

The only one I have problems with is the text area. It doesn't work. Where should I put the "value"?

 

Thanks

Where are you getting the values from?

a database look-up? or a form submission? an array of values?

Are the values defined in your code before you use them in this snippet?

 

When the client first uses the form, before the submission, are there default values set?

 

You should be using an 'if' statement to confirm the value isset() before attempting to echo them.

The 'if' can be where you have the php snippet now.

I don't believe the textarea has a "value" like the other inputs do, so this won't work:

 

 

You can, however, echo out your data between the opening and closing textarea tags:

 

<?php echo $variable; ?>

It didn't work with "echo...". But it works with "print...":

 

<?php print $comentarios; ?>
