How are you printing the value? With textarea you need to do:
<textarea><?php echo $description;?></textarea>
instead of:
<textarea value="<?php echo $description;?></textarea>

You can't assign a value to a type=file field. If you could, you would
be able to upload whatever file you wanted from a user. If you have to
pass the value, try a hidden field and then have it reassign if no file
was uploaded.
