htmlentities

[Danny]

Hello all,



I want to save real HTML tags into my mysql database.
I use
$p = htmlentities($c ontent);
to convert the strange characters to real html.
Then from another page i echo the content from the database and i see real
html tags which is what i want.
But in the database its still saved as:
p><strong >sdfsdfsdfsd fsdfsdf</stro.

How can i save normal HTML tags in my database??

Thanks a lot

Danny

That isn't what it does. HTML is just text. Store it in your database
without modification.

The problem is that im using a rich text script and $content is alreay
handled somehow with htmlspecialchar s where the problem starts
I cant get normal tags into my database.

I doubt it. Read the manual.

1. Please don't top post.

2. Geoff is correct - HTML is just text. Why could $content already
processed with htmlspecialchar s?

3. No idea what I'm looking for. This is just plain html text, like I
would expect it to be.
