I didn't understand what i am saying but if you want to set the text inside the text input than you should use value element in input tag. For example your code should look like this :-

<input type="text" value="<?php echo $yourvalue;?>" />

Hope this works for you.

Just keep in mind that PHP generates HTML that the browser parses... 

<input type="text" name="url" value="<?php echo htmlspeciachars($url,ENT_QUOTES); ?>">

its important to use ENT_QUOTES or some other kind of data filter to avoid XSS.

Use basic HTML FORM elements with readonly attribute.

<textarea readonly><?php echo $code; ?></textarea>

I suppose you are doing something like

echo $code;

to show your code; if this is the case so you only have to do it like this :

echo '<input type="text" name="my_code" value="' . $code . '">';

or

echo '<textarea name="my_code">' . $code . '</textarea>';

That's it
