yii framework populate the values in textarea

Question

I need to populate the value in textarea.

For text field i used the following command $form->textField($model,'phone',array('value'=>$savedvalues['varPhone']))

It works fine. But for textarea the 'value' parameter is not supported.

Here where i have to display my value parameter

$form->textArea($model, 'corporateaddress', array('rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50))

Answer 1

You can do this, if you absolutely have to use $savedvalues array:

$model->corporateaddress=$savedvalues['varCorporateAddress'];
$form->textArea($model, 'corporateaddress', array('rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50));
