That's not how you specify the value of a textarea. It should be between
the tags like so...

<textarea name="name" rows="10" cols="10">$String</textarea>

And I'm assuming that $String has already had htmlentities run on it.

Check the source of the page being created. I'm guessing $String
contains a single quote and then a sequence of characters that is
causing this behaviour.
