posting html code via a form php

I need to know how to allow users to input html code into a form and allow them to submit the code. I want to store it in a database for later use.

What happens now is when i input data and submit the form, all the html tags are gone so only non html text is present.

I guess i need to know how to disable stripping of html tags by php or whatever is doing it.

PHP does not do it automatically, so search your code for calls to the strip_tags, htmlspecialchars, and/or htmlentities functions.

there is no code like that. would the server do it? i am sending it in a url thru xml using ajax but sending it through a post made no diff. thanks.

How are you parsing the xml on the php end? Maybe its getting stripped out there?

just taking the getElementById.value and adding it to a string. and then opening the url.

You might want to actually post some code.
