If you want to show the html code as it is in string, apply the htmlentities() function to the string with html code.
Code: Select all
Title: <textarea required name="title" rows="7">'. htmlentities($row[title]) .'</textarea><br>

There are errors in html code, and no textarea; which means you modified wrong the html code in the php script.

In <textarea> you not have to add data in "value" attribute, but between starting and ending tags.
Try simple like this:
Code: Select all
Title: <textarea required name="title" rows="7">'. htmlentities($row[title]) .'</textarea><br>
- If textarea is not show in html page code, the problem is also in another part of the php code where you modified.
