php ckeditor can't set php data

Question

<textarea cols="80"  id="editor1"    name="content" rows="10" >    
</textarea>     
<script>
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
</script>

That is working properly and I am getting the edit textbox, but now I need to get data from the database. For that I am doing:

<textarea cols="80"  id="editor1" value="<?php echo $rows['content']; ?>"   name="content" rows="10" >  

</textarea>         
<script>
      CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
</script>

But it does not show me my data.

I have tried data I am getting in simple textarea but not in CKEDITOR.

What am I doing wrong?

Textarea value should be stored inside textarea, not in value attribute:

<textarea> <?= $value ?> </textarea>

textarea Don't have value attribute. Use this code:

<textarea cols="80"  id="editor1" name="content" rows="10" >

    <?php echo $rows['content']; ?>

</textarea>

if you wanted to replace the entire editor content, in which case you'd want to use setData().

or you can also use

Use insertHtml() or insertText() method.

or with sample php code as html by text aread

<textarea cols="80"  id="editor1" name="content" rows="10" >

    <?php echo $rows['content']; ?>

</textarea>

i experienced this and solved this. i needed jquery.

first: <textarea id = "editContent"> </textarea> <script> CKEDITOR.replace('editContent'); </script>

<?php $content = $row['content']; ?>

`<div id = "myDiv"><?php echo $content?></div>

<script> CKEDITOR.instances.editContent.setData($("#myDiv").html()); </script>
