OK some reason I cannot display my query when I use

HTML

<textarea>

PHP

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_reviews))
       {
           echo "<td>" .$row['username']. "</td>";
           echo "<td>" .$row['title']. "</td>";
           //echo "<td>" .$row['review']. "</td>";
           echo "<td><textarea rows="8" cols="50">" .$row['review']. "</textarea></td>";

           echo ("<td><a href=\"editreview.php?id=$row[id]\">
               <button>Edit Review</button></a></td>");

           echo ("<td><a href=\"delete.php?id=$row[id]\">
               <button>Deleat Review</button></a></td></tr>");
       }

As you can see I have commented out one line and replaced it with

HTML

<textarea>

This is where it goes wrong and will not display.
any idea why? and how to get it to work.

Hello,

It's been a while since I've had a play with php.
Looking at the code you posted, you might want to try escaping those double quote characters that wrap the textarea size parameters.

PHP

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_reviews))
	    {
	    	echo "<td>" .$row['username']. "</td>";
	        echo "<td>" .$row['title']. "</td>";
	        //echo "<td>" .$row['review']. "</td>";
	        echo "<td><textarea rows=\"8\" cols=\"50\">" .$row['review']. "</textarea></td>";
 
	        echo ("<td><a href=\"editreview.php?id=$row[id]\">
	        	<button>Edit Review</button></a></td>");
 
	        echo ("<td><a href=\"delete.php?id=$row[id]\">
	        	<button>Deleat Review</button></a></td>");
	    }
