    Actually the textarea attribute is used when we have to input big field like address of the person in the form..
    <?php
    $text = "This is my webpage: please put any of your details: <textarea>Hello World!</textarea>";
    ?>

    Edit Your Webpage: <textarea id="editPage"><?php echo $text; ?></textarea>

    If you're going to use it for wordpress theme admin. Use the following code:

    <textarea name="name of textarea"><?php echo stripslahses($your_variable_or_text);?></textarea>

    This will definitely helps you. :)
