form text

[PulsaMatt]

How would I go about putting text into a field in a form (pre-filling it out would be the closest thing to wording).

I am using PHP to do the form handling and I would like to be able to pull this information from a mySQL database to make it editable. I know the mySQL side, I just dont know how to put text back into a text area. Thanx.

if it is a <textarea> the text goes between the <textarea> and the </textarea> ... if it is a <input type=text> it goes in the value-attribute of the input-tag like this:
<input type=text name=fldname value='yadda yadda yadda'> This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...
;-)
