Textarea不会设置$ _POST

<textarea name="pageeditor" id="tbMsg" style="height:350px;width:100%;"></textarea>

is the code to my textarea.

It doesn't submit (wont set $_POST['pageeditor']) but it will if I do:

<textarea name="pageeditor" id="tbMsg" style="height:350px;width:100%;">TEXT HERE</textarea>

which doesn't make any sense to me. It doesn't submit any text I type in on the page, but will if I hard code it into the page.

any ideas?

I tried this and it seems to be displaying the textarea text that I enter.

<?php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);

echo $_POST['pageeditor'];
echo "</pre>";
?>
<form method="post">
    <textarea name="pageeditor" id="tbMsg" style="height:350px;width:100%;"></textarea>
    <button type="submit" name="form_submit"> Submit</button>
</form>

<p>

<?php 

    if(isset($_POST['submit']))
    {
        echo $_POST['textarea'];
    }

 ?>

</p>

<form method="post">
    <textarea name="textarea" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>
    <button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
