I've been stuck now for hours trying to figure out why when I am unable redisplay my data from my database inside my update form. It seems to depend whether I use input type of 'text' or 'textarea'.
For example, where I use a input type of text the data is pulled from the database and displayed back on my page
<label for='max_guests' class='left'>Max. guests</label>
<input type='text' name='ud_guests' id='ud_guests' class='field' value='<? echo "$guests"?>' tabindex='3' />
However, where I use textarea, I don't get the required the same result. The field is just blank.
<label for='meta_descr' class='left'>Meta desc:</label>
<textarea name='ud_meta_descr' id='meta_descr' cols='45' rows='5' tabindex='8' value='<? echo "$meta_descr" ?>' /></textarea>
Its driving me nuts. Can anyone suggest what I can do to remedy this? I suspect its a syntax error as my PHP knowledge is limited. However I am referring to a tutorial.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
