MultiLine textbox in html for PHP script

all

I wanted to create a multi-line text block, but all the information I was looking for says that I can adjust the length but not the height

How can I create a textbox field where I can enter user type comments for a php script?

this is what i am currently using

<INPUT TYPE = "TEXT" >

      

        
        
        
      

    

Bonus question:

how to disable typing in the textbox (for example if you click "this is test + enter" it will submit the page where I want the user to click the submit button at the bottom
