displaying HTML vs text

[pye]

I have a large amount of text and HTML saved as a TEXT field in a mySQL database. I'd like it to display as HTML on the page when it's retrieved from the database, but it's displaying the HTML tags as text.

What kind of field should I save this as in the database so that it will display properly? Or is there a trick to getting it to display HTML tags?

Thanks.

It should work just fine. How are you displaying it? Using an echo command? Here's the way I would do it.

Say the column with the HTML is named html.

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query($select_query));
echo $row

;

HTML tags should display just fine.
