I have the following form in php..

Enter Message:<br> <textarea name=\"body\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"10\">
This is a test</textarea><br><br>

Which displays a textbox and defaults the value to "This is a test".

I want to store a message to a variable, say $testmessage = "This is a
test message" and then display that. The following doesn't work...

Enter Message:<br> <textarea name=\"body\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"10\">
$testmessage</textarea><br><br>

All I get is $testmessage and not whats in $testmessage.

How do I get the default to show whats in the $testmessage string?

Thanks

Mike
