Printing AIML response in a textarea in PHP

Hi,

This is my first post. I am currently learning PHP and am trying to combine it with AIML in order to create a chatbot that prints its replies into a textarea.(named "Answerfield")

At the moment, I only know how to print the output within a new Internet Explorer or Firefox windows.

I am looking for a way to edit the PRINT command so that the output can appear in the textarea but no luck so far. Any ideas would be really welcome.

Here is my PHP code:

[PHP]

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['input'])){

$numselects=0;

// Start the session or get the existing session.

session_start();
$myuniqueid=session_id();

// Here is where we get the reply.

$botresponse=replybotname($HTTP_POST_VARS['input'],$myuniqueid,$HTTP_POST_VARS['botname']);

// Print the chatbot response

print "<B>ANSWER : " . $botresponse->response . "<BR></b>";

?>

<html>
<head>
<body bgcolor="gold" text="#000000">
<title>Feedback</title>
</head></body></html>

<? [/PHP]

Thanks in advance

You want to print the data in your textarea. What textarea? There is no textarea in your code. Please show us.

Thanks a lot for your reply and my apologies for the delay, I couldn't log back in to the site.
Here is the code with showing the textarea.
There must be a way to tell PHP to print within the textarea declared as "Answerfield" at the bottom of the page. I am learning php at the moment and have very little experience :

[PHP]if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['input'])){
$numselects=0;
$myuniqueid=session_id();

$botresponse=replybotname($HTTP_POST_VARS['input'],$myuniqueid,$HTTP_POST_VARS['botname']);

print "<B>ANSWER : " . $botresponse->response . "<BR></b>"?>

<html>
<head>
<body bgcolor="lightblue" text="#000000">
<title>Feedback</title>
</head></body></html>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="talk.php">

<select name="botname">
<?
foreach ($availbots as $onebot){
print "<option value=\"$onebot\">$onebot</option>";
}
?>
</select><BR>

Type your question here: <input type="text" name="input" size="54">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form>
Answer: <textarea name="Answerfield" cols="60"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="GoToNextLecture" value="Next Lecture">
</form>

</body>
</html>

<?

}

?>[/PHP]

Thank you in advance, Any help is greatly appreciated

Just echo the PHP variable (e.g. $mytext) you want to show in the textarea, like this:

[php]
Answer: <textarea name="Answerfield" cols="60"><?php echo $mytext; ?></textarea>
[/php]
