yes, I used the FMP9 server php wizard to build the starting point for the site. I found a web programmer who explained what I needed to to for textarea to work like I wanted with php. Basically, in a you must echo a variable rather than using PHP to put the information in the field directly (like you do with a input text field). this is because the does not support value= . Here is some code that works (it can probably be cleaned up abit by a real php programmer : ) <?php $OtherAwards = ( $record->getField('other activities', 0)) ?> <?php echo $OtherAwards;?> Jeff

Howdy, I am developing a php site usning FM9 server. I would like to use s for three of the fields where short answers are required. The textarea works properly for data input, but when I try to edit the record via the web, the textarea field is always empty (I can't get the data from the record to show up in the web form). I believe this is due to the TEXTAREA not having a "value=" tag. Is there a solution to this using PHP or do I have to rebuild the whole site using XLS? Thanks in advance jeff
