I am trying to retrieve data from mysql and put into text area. Others data that insert to text box works well but i faced problem when want to insert into text area.
echo'<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200" value="'.$abstract.'"></textarea>';
I have fetch my query out with
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM publication where file_id='$id'");
$row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$abstract=$row1['abstract'];
Thanks for helping me...
Try this one
echo'<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200">'.$abstract.'</textarea>';
or
<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200"><?php echo $abstract?></textarea>
echo'<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200">$abstract</textarea>'; , will not work as expected ... PHP string interpolation doesn't work with ' single quote ... echo 'hello $name'; will print hello $name
Textarea doesn't have value tag:
echo'<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200">'.$abstract.'</textarea>';
use as
echo '<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200">'.$abstract.'</textarea>';
You need to put your $abstract like this :
echo'<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200">'.$abstract.'</textarea>';
Try this
<textarea name="abstract" id="abstract" size="200" ><?php echo $abstract; ?></textarea>
If you want to avoid concatenation you could enclose the variable within curly braces to avoid any confusion, if it does, in the following manner
echo "<textarea name='abstract' id='abstract' size='200'>{$abstract}</textarea>";
