Displaying Form Data In HTML Format

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a MySQL Database in which I store results from a form. I then display the data within form fields so that each user can alter the data within the form fields and post it and save the changes to the database.

Ergo, my problem. I have one form field in which I want the output to be in HTML format.

Example, I want the output to look like;
<--
Hi,

My name is bill.

Thanks for visiting

However, the data in the form field does not use HTML and it looks like this;
<--
Hi, My name is bill. Thanks for visiting.
-->

How can I make data saved to MySQL save and output using HTML code?

look at nl2br() which converts new-line characters to <br> characters
