Hi,

The re-poplulating of the select and textarea fields doesn't work, i did what the documentation say though!

My code :

Code:
<tr> <td>Description</td><td>&lt;textarea name="description" cols="30" rows="10" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('description'); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;/textarea></td></tr>

<tr> <td>Catégorie</td><td><select  name="categorie">

      <option value="Agriculture" &lt;?php echo set_select('categorie', 'Agriculture');?&gt;>Agriculture</option>

      <option value="Babysitting" &lt;?php echo set_select('categorie', 'Babysitting');?&gt;>Babysitting</option>

      <option value="Education" &lt;?php echo set_select('categorie', 'Education');?&gt;>Éducation</option>

    </select>

    </td></tr>

Do you see the error ?

Thx!

Textareas don't have a value property. You put the value in between the opening and closing tags

Code:
&lt;textarea&gt;&lt;?= set_value($text) ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
