                <textarea id="txtReason"  name="txtReason" value="<?= $row['dReason']?>"></textarea>
            </td>

but i dont receive the value for text area how to receive the value

Answer 1

<textarea><?php echo $row['dReason']; ?></textarea>

Answer 2

Unlike <input type="text">, we write the value of textarea between opening and closing tag, rather than specifying in value attribute

<textarea id="txtReason"  name="txtReason">
<?= $row['dReason']?>
</textarea>

Answer 3

For text area the value must be between the start and end of textarea tags
