Maintaining html code?

[duckduckgoose]

Hi,

I've got a field in my db that stores some html content. For example, one line looks like this:

<ul>
<li>Bullet number one</li>
<li>Bullet number two</li>
<li>Bullet&reg; number three</li>
</ul>

This should be editable, so my form populates a textarea field with this information, but it keeps changing &reg; to ® ... Is there a way to prevent that so that it echoes as &reg; ?

Thanks.

When you output it to your form, use htmlspecialchars():

<textarea name="some_name"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($value_from_db); ?></textarea>
