title: Setting Value of Text Area
body: <p>I m trying to set the value of a text area but it is not working correctly. I have verified that $bio has a value by echoing it in the beginning of my php file. However,  no text is displayed when trying to set the value of the text area. Does anyone know why?</p>
  
  <p>Code for Text Area:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form class="login" action="updatebio.php" form method="post"&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;Bio: &lt;/h3&gt;
      &lt;textarea  rows="12" cols="76" name="Bio" input id = "Bio" placeholder="Bio:" value="&lt;?php echo                $bio; ?&gt;" class = "textbox"  &gt; &lt;/textarea&gt;
      &lt;input value="Update Bio" type="submit"&gt;
  
      &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
