Change the rows value for the textarea. This has nothing at all to do with PHP BTW.

Yep it sure doesn't. Moving to HTML/CSS forum.
rows and cols are the attributes you want to set. I'm not really up with my html/css knowledge so I don't know if there is a more generic way to do it, but the rows and cols properties appear to still be a part of the html5 standard.

You should specify rows and cols on a textarea to define a default size for it. You can then override that using CSS if you need to (for those people whose browsers support CSS styling of forms).

Actually all the fields are inside a table. So by increasing the size or rows and cols attribute,all other fields move aside in a form.So is there any other option in table tag for doing this. Please tell me.
