Issue populating textarea with db data - php

Question

So, like the title said, i'm having an issue while i'm populating a text area that is being used on HTML form, because it is not getting any content in it.
this is the form with the php while.
<?php
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{ echo '
<form action="insert/insertReport.php" id="newReport" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="clientRep">Cliente</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="client" class="form-control" id="client" value="'.$row['client'].'">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="titleRep">Título do Relatório</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" id="title" value="'.$row['title'].'">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="namefat">Data</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="date" class="form-control" id="date" value="'.$row['date'].'">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="localRep">Local</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="local" class="form-control" id="local" value="'.$row['local'].'">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="reportRep">Relatório</label>
<br>
<textarea rows="12" name="report" class="form-control" id="report" form="newReport" value="'.$row['report'].'"></textarea>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="id" class="form-control" id="id" value="'.$row['id'].'">';
}?>
And this is the php query.
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM reports'
Does anyone know what's wrong with it?

Answer 1

Text area does not accept a value attribute. You place the contents between the textarea tags:
<textarea rows="12" name="report" class="form-control" id="report" form="newReport">'.$row['report'].'</textarea>
