Hi @iridion9. There seems to be something wrong with the formatting of your code. There should be 3 backticks on the line just before the code, and 3 backticks on the line after the code to make it display properly in your post. Or just highlight the code and select the </> from the icons above the textarea.
Am I correct in assuming that those two blocks of code, separated by the *** lines, are things that you want to display inside a textarea, and that you have some php code that does so?
If so, shows us the PHP code that is responsible for outputting the main html page that draws the textarea and tries to insert this text. If not, please explain further.
