I’m trying to out put a database field value into a text area by doing this but it’s not working.

<textarea name="course_id" cols=40 rows=3 value="<?php echo $row['course_id'] ; ?>"></textarea>

but when i use

<input type="text" name="course_id" value="<?php echo $row['course_id'] ; ?> ">

it worked well.

Thanks.

You enter the value between textarea tags.

<textarea name = "course_id" cols=40  rows=3>
<?php echo $row['course_id'] ?>
</textarea>
